An estimated 200 people took part in a neo-Nazi march in Sweden on Saturday, reviving the controversial ‘Salem march’ on the 25th anniversary of the killing of 17-year-old skinhead Daniel Wredström.
Wredström, a nationalist activist, was stabbed to death in 2000 during a confrontation with other teenagers, allegedly of immigrant background, in Salem, in the outskirt of Stockholm.
The killing became a rallying symbol for far-right movements, including Sweden’s largest neo-Nazi group, the Nordic Resistance Movement.
The Salem march was held annually from 2000 to 2011 before gradually fading out. In 2010, the right-wing nationalist party, the Sweden Democrats, also entered parliament.
