SWEDISH CIVIL SERVANT SAYS DEMOTED FOR PRO-ISRAEL VIEWS

Swedish Civil Servant Says Demoted for Pro-Israel Views (The Local-Sweden)
A Swedish Migration Board employee with 20 years' experience, Lennart Eriksson, 51, says he was demoted due to his pro-Israel political views.   In his spare time he operates a personal blog in which he expresses support for democratic freedoms and for Israel, in particular.

Eriksson's career hit a bump last summer when he returned from a one-year sabbatical only to learn that he was to be demoted from his job, a position he had held for six years.   He claims that when his new supervisor learned of his blog, he decided to force Eriksson out of the agency.
