Sweden refuses Lieberman’s visit
Sweden has refused to open a judicial inquiry into a report published by the local paper Aftonbladet charging that the Israeli army was harvesting Palestinian organs.
The Swedish minister of justice told journalists on the sidelines of the meeting of European justice and interior ministers in Brussels that his country would not open an investigation as demanded by Israel over the paper’s accusations.
Media sources in Brussels said that Sweden, the current president of the European Union, has refused to receive Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman at the EU headquarters for that same reason.
