Comments on the Government’s Bill 2022/23:73 concerning special criminal provisions for participation in a terrorist organisation, which amended the Terrorist Offences Act (2022:66), Code of Judicial Procedure, and the Act on measures to prevent certain particularly serious offences (2007:979), and entered into force in June 2023. We respectfully address several serious human rights challenges raised by this Bill, including the definition for participation in a terrorist organization, which, in our view, is overly broad. We particularly highlight the negative and disproportionate impacts that the legislation may have on the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, as well as the right to privacy. We respectfully encourage your Excellency's Government to review and reconsider certain key aspects of the law to ensure that it complies with Sweden's international human rights law obligations.
