Swedish censorship / rating

Certificate number 210246
Date 2024-03-07
Classification Allowed from age 11
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av tung tematik, berättelser om brutalt våld inom militären och polisen, sörjande moder vid sons grav, upplopp, poliser som slår ner demonstranter med batong, en bil som slås sönder av poliser, skottlossning samt en person som vrålar av smärta. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn.
