Development Sweden #82. Sida sought information about individuals linked to Islamic Relief
A newsletter on Swedish development co-operation and policy
Dear readers,
Welcome back to a new issue of Development Sweden. We are following up on the defunding by Sida of Islamic Relief. Our investigation shows how Sida’s chief legal officer asked the Centre for Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) to seek information about specifically named individuals. Is this according to Swedish law? Also, the right-wing populist party ask the minister of Development Cooperation to act against civil servants. Read the reply from minister Benjamin Dousa.
Development Sweden provides you with exclusive insight into everything that happens in Swedish aid politics every other week. Development Sweden depends on readers like you. If you would like to read the full newsletter, you are most welcome to upgrade to a paid subscription.
