Gothenburg: Police fear anti-immigrant protests following attack

Via the Local:
The attack, which occurred in Kortedala Torg on March 18th, has left other residents embittered and calling for action, and police are concerned that talks of a demonstration against violence may boil over into an anti-immigrant protest.

"We see that racist websites blame foreigners in general after what happened. It makes me angry, and we need to monitor developments carefully," said the police's Bertil Claesson to Aftonbladet.

"Protests against violence are good, a sign of health, but we don't want it to become a protest out of hatred."

Several boys hanging around the square where the attack took place told Aftonbladet that everybody was affected by the incident. "It's not right what they did, if they did it. We've certainly noticed that prejudice against all of us immigrant increased after it."
