Radio Sweden Weekly: Visby's Easter Parade

Radio Sweden

In this Easter weekend edition of Radio Sweden Weekly we take a look at a half-century-old Easter tradition taking place inside the medieval walls of Visby, on the island of Gotland.

Also: The campaign's growing for the release from prison of Johan Floderus, the Swede who was arrested and arbitrarily detained on espionage charges almost two years ago while visiting friends in Iran. We speak to his sister Tove, and the Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele, who shared a cell with Floderus in Tehran's Evin prison.

And a former police chief and head of the intelligence service Säpo speaks about his ideas on how to turn around Sweden's escalating gang violence.
