Flux reported that Andreas Klominek was acquitted of assault after three lay judges voted against the line of presiding judge Céline Holmberg. The incident is said to have occurred on May 1, 2026, when Nick Alinia was monitoring the left's celebration in Stockholm. According to Flux, Klominek's son Ossian then knocked Alinia's phone out of his hand. Alinia and his cameraman held Ossian while waiting for the police, and Klominek then kneed Alinia in the head. Flux stated that the district court assessed the strike as proven through, among other things, body camera footage and testimony. The lay judges Anna-Sofia Quensel, Yvonne Bernhardsson, and Jan-Åke Porseryd accepted Clominek's objection regarding so-called putative self-defense, according to Flux. Holmberg had reportedly deemed the situation insufficient to support that objection. Flux wrote that Quensel, who represented the Left Party, had worked as a researcher at Expo from 2011 to 2017. Alinia stated according to Flux that he became aware of her background after the verdict and questioned whether she could assess the case impartially, among other things referring to Expo's critical articles about him and a photo in which Quensel appeared with AFA founder Mathias Wåg. Flux recounted that Alinia had described the verdict as political in an interview with Samnytt. According to the post, Holmberg had not taken a position on whether there was a conflict of interest, while the lay judge Porseryd referred conflict questions to the court's chairman. Flux emphasized that Quensel's previous employment at Expo did not in itself indicate a conflict of interest, but the question was whether the circumstances could undermine confidence in her impartiality. Ossian Klominek was simultaneously convicted of harassment, and his previous probation, according to Flux, would encompass the new crime. Alinia stated, according to the post, that the prosecutor had appealed the acquitting verdict against Andreas Klominek. #Rättvisa #Misshandel #Politik (translated)
