DOMESTIC. New acts of violence on Järvafältet are expected. According to information to Expressen, "busloads" of Eritrean regime opponents are on their way to Sweden to participate in the demonstration.

According to Ekot, 14 people are still being treated in hospital after the storming of the regime-loyal cultural festival Festival Eritrea Scandinavia on Thursday.

The demonstration against the festival has had its permit revoked by the police. But according to Expressen's information, "busloads" of regime opponents are on their way to Sweden from the Netherlands to participate in it.

This is confirmed by Calle Persson, press spokesperson at the police Region South.

- We have been contacted by the same information. And if so, they will be taken for control according to the Aliens Act just like any other traveler can be. We usually do that. That cooperation is being intensified and we are aware of what happened in Stockholm, he tells Expressen.

The police are expecting new unrest at Järvafältet today and will be on site, this time with greater resources than yesterday.
