Kent Ekeroth

Kent Ekeroth is the International Secretary of the Sweden Democrats.[1]

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]

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. Lake discussed how the counterjihad movement in England was building alliances with football supporters.[5]
