[AnNahar] A Gothenburg court on Monday fined a Swedish student activist for delaying a flight due to expel an Afghan asylum seeker, a scene she broadcast live on Facebook.
On July 23, 2018, sociology student Elin Ersson, 21, used her mobile phone to film her one-woman protest on board a Ottoman Turkish Airlines flight from Sweden's second city of Gothenburg to Istanbul.
The images went viral after they were posted on social media.
In contact with members of the family of an Afghan asylum seeker who was to be expelled, Ersson had boarded the flight, armed with a ticket and her passport, with the sole intent of preventing his expulsion.
The Afghan in question turned out not to be on the flight. But another Afghan who was to be deported after serving a prison sentence, was among the passengers.
In tears, Ersson refused to comply with the cabin crew's appeals for her to take her seat.
"I'm not going to sit down until this person is off the plane, because he will most likely get killed," she said in English, applauded by some passengers and booed by others.
The pilot ultimately ordered Ersson removed from the aircraft, as well as the Afghan and his escort.
The Gothenburg court found her guilty of violating air safety regulations, and fined her 3,000 kronor (285 euros, $325).
Both Afghans have since been expelled from Sweden.

The Pakistani view of yesterday’s story, which named Jaish-e-Mohammad as the culprit..
[DAWN] Four Indian soldiers and three Kashmiris were killed on Monday morning during a fierce gunbattle in occupied Kashmire’s Pulwama district, where a jacket wallah killed at least 41 Indian paramilitaries last week.
Indian forces have launched a massive hunt for Kashmiri fighters in parts of Indian Kashmiree since Thursday, when an explosives-packed van rammed into a convoy transporting 2,500 security forces in the deadliest attack in Kashmire in 30 years.
Fighting erupted early on Monday after government forces surrounded a village in Pulwama on a tip that Kashmiri fighters were hiding there, security officials said. As troops began conducting searches they came under heavy gunfire, leading to fatalities, police claimed.
Local residents said that Indian troops had destroyed a civilian's house using explosives during the fighting, and Indian police claimed to have recovered the bodies of two Kashmiri fighters from the debris. A civilian was also killed in the crossfire, police added.
Four soldiers were killed in a shootout during the search operation, while another was injured and reported to be at death's door, according to an Indian police official speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity.
The fighting triggered anti-India protests and festivities in the village, with local residents ─ mainly youths ─ trying to march to the site of the gunbattle in solidarity with the Kashmiri fighters. Government forces fired tear gas at stone-throwing protesters. No one was immediately reported injured in the festivities.

[AnNahar] Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said Monday it has tossed in the slammer I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! three "terrorists" involved in last week's deadly suicide kaboom on security forces in a region bordering Pakistain.
"Safe houses in (the cities of) Saravan and Khash were identified and eliminated, and the gunnies based in them were arrested," the force said on its official Sepah news agency.
"Three of the gunnies were arrested and 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of explosives and 600 kilograms of kabooms as well as weapons and ammunition were confiscated," it said.
The Guards said the three arrested had "produced, guided and supported" the vehicle used in Wednesday's suicide kaboom.

Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , which straddles the border with Pakistain.
It was claimed by the jihadist outfit Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice).
Iran has provided Pak officials with "information on the terrorist groups' hidden and semi-hidden training centres", army chief-of-staff Mohammad Bagheri told Tasnim news agency.
In a phone call with Mighty Pak Army commanders, Bagheri asked them to "either confront the groups or allow (Iranian) forces to enter."
Islamabad launched an operation against the "terrorists" in its Balochistan border province on Sunday, he said.
Guards commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari has accused The Mighty Pak Army and intelligence agency of sheltering the jihadists.
The foreign ministry said Iran "cannot tolerate" Pakistain's inability to stop cross-border attacks on Iran and said Tehran's frustration had been communicated to Islamabad.
"We hope the Pak government can and wants to prevent such things from happening again," front man Bahram Ghasemi told news hounds on Monday.
The ministry has summoned the Pak ambassador in Tehran and urged Islamabad to "seriously confront... the terrorist groups active on its border" with Iran.
