History
Sacked for 'anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim propaganda'
Ekeroth was sacked as an intern at the Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv in November 2006.[2]
Ambassador Robert Rydberg told Haaretz:
- "This is a very special case because of the fact that he had been active - especially on the Internet - using embassy computers to spread xenophobic, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim propaganda."[3]
Ekeroth disputed the ambassador's account responding:
- I did not distribute any kind of so-called "hate messages" as indicated by the article. My writing did not incite hate toward any group or individual.[4]
Activities
In September 2009, Ekeroth hosted a Sweden Democrats 'anti-Islamisation' seminar in Mälmo. Speakers included Jordanian journalist Ghada Hanna, Mrutyuanjai Mishra from India and Alan Lake from the UK.
