Protection money for Jews of Sweden

After more than a year blighted by antisemitic incidents, the Swedish government has announced it will provide funds to ensure the Jewish community's safety.

The Swedish Integration Minister said around £386,000 would be allocated to boost security numbers for the small Jewish population.

Erik Ullenhag said the money was necessary because without it there was "a risk" that people would not "dare visit synagogues in Sweden".

In July it emerged that a Hollywood production company had pulled out of a planned film shoot in Sweden because of the spike in antisemitic hate crimes.
