An alleged Syrian refugee woman who worked in two retirement homes in the municipality of Karlskrona has now been charged with 26 counts of defamatory photography of elderly people and one count of desecration of corpses.
She had filmed naked Swedes and dead Swedes at her workplace and also distributed the content.
In one video, her Arab colleague poked a finger into the eyes of a deceased person while the act was being filmed.
When questioned by the police, the Syrian woman said that this was normal in her home country (sic).
However, the Syrian woman cannot be deported to her country of origin, even if she is later convicted, as she was granted Swedish citizenship in record time – a year and a half after Fredrik Reinfeldt (Prime Minister) welcomed her.
When the police confiscated the Syrian woman’s mobile phone at the beginning of the year in another case, the videos were brought to the attention of the authorities.
In the police report, the investigator reports that the contents found in the woman’s phone were images and videos showing elderly and sick people in various situations of vulnerability. One of the videos shows a person pressing a finger into the eyes of a corpse in a nursing home.
The police investigation into 41-year-old Dunia Ali Agha, who is from Syria and lives in Lyckeby, began when the footage was linked to two nursing homes in Karlskrona municipality where the woman had previously worked.
The police investigation shows that the videos on the Syrian woman’s phone were recorded between 2022 and 2024 and involved no fewer than 17 Swedish residents of the retirement home in the municipality.
The employee wearing the ‘hijab’ (Islamic veil) gouged out the eyes of a deceased person while the Syrian woman was filming.
The police found numerous pictures and videos on the phone, and some of the residents seen in the woman’s films have died since the filming. The indictment at Blekinge District Court ultimately relates to 26 cases of undignified photography and one case of desecration of corpses.
As part of the investigation, the police reviewed the video footage together with Therese Adner, the head of department at the Vitus Elena retirement home on Norra Smedjegatan in Karlskrona, to help identify the residents as well as the location.
The Syrian woman also defended her Arab colleague in a hijab who stuck a finger in the eye of a deceased person. According to her, her colleague is ‘Arab, so she doesn’t understand’ that this is wrong.
Therese Adner, the head of the police unit, is shocked when she sees what the Syrian woman filmed at her workplace. ‘A normal person understands that you don’t do something like that,’ she said in an interview with the police about the colleague in question.
The Syrian woman’s defence: ‘I thought it was okay’.
During police questioning, Dunia Ali Agha needed an interpreter for Arabic, although she has lived in Sweden since at least 2014 and had worked in retirement homes for several years.
The Syrian woman both denied and admitted the offence. She admitted that she had filmed and distributed the content, but ‘thought it was okay’. This is despite the fact that it is forbidden to carry a private mobile phone in the facility.
She cannot be deported – she was granted citizenship in record time.
Syrian Dunia Ali Agha immigrated to Sweden during the 2014 migration chaos and applied for a residence permit on September 7.
Two months later, she received a permanent residence permit after Fredrik Reinfeldt, Prime Minister of Sweden, gave a welcoming speech in early 2024:
‘Open your hearts’ and “Thank you for choosing Sweden”….
