Sweden is to prosecute the 21-year-old student who single-handedly grounded an aircraft preparing to deport an Afghan asylum seeker.

Elin Ersson broadcast her one-woman protest on Facebook in July, during which she refused to sit down on the flight from Landvetter airport in Gothenburg, thereby preventing it from taking off. The video has been watched 13m times.

Several other passengers, including an entire football team, joined her protest and an asylum seeker was removed from the plane – to applause from passengers.

Maybe she can be an activist in Prison

Good time to review her gender?

Perhaps she should spend a couple of months in the detention center where her new friend is staying.  Yanno, hang out, chat it up.  Plan another deplaning together...

Good.

I am so glad she is being prosecuted for this!  Her disruption to that flight based solely on her arrogant ignorance...  She can protest and voice her opinions all she wants, but it crosses the line when it disrupts other people's lives - and that flight delay was no minor disruption.  There are appropriate ways to protest and speak one's views.  I can only hope that the USA will also prosecute anyone, from any party or movement or whatever that takes their "right to freedom of speech" and "right to peaceful protest" and abuses it to violate anyone else's "right to dissent".
