Bjorn Larsson Rosval\/AP<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAfter winning national elections two years ago, the new centre-right government took over a country so violent that only Albania and Montenegro are ahead of it in the rankings of gun deaths per capita within Europe.<\/p>\n
To combat the shootings linked to organised crime and shattering the previously idyllic image associated with the country, Sweden has taken steps to rectify the situation.<\/p>\n
In early October, the Swedish government proposed a law allowing anonymous testimonies to break the code of silence within gangs.<\/p>\n
Stockholm fired back at criticism that this proposal would violate the rule of law, which holds that the accused have the right to know who they must defend themselves against.<\/p>\n
Anonymous testimony would only be allowed in exceptional cases, at the court's discretion and for crimes punishable by at least two years in prison.<\/p>\n
There must also be a tangible risk that the witnesses or their relatives could be victims of a serious crime due to their testimony.<\/p>\n
