Swedish censorship / rating
| Certificate number | 208001 |
|---|---|
| Date | 2021-11-09 |
| Classification | Allowed from age 15 |
| Grounds for decision | Framställningen innehåller tung tematik med berättelser om våldtäkter, kidnappning och brutal misshandel av barn och kvinnor som förslavas av IS, människor som utsätter sig för livsfara, vapenhot och skottlossning, stillbilder på döda människor, en kvinna som berättar att hon vill dö samt ett spädbarn som skiljs från sin förtvivlade mamma. Detta kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 15 år. |
