Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av bilder på döda kroppar i koncentrationsläger, pistolskott där blodet stänker, explosioner, fotograferande av en död flicka, en förtvivlad skrikande man samt våldsamma bilder från stormningen av Kapitolium. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
