Appoint a Truth Commission on the Palme Murder!
Forty years later, the murder remains unsolved — this is not worthy of a state governed by the rule of law.
On February 28, 1986, Sweden's political leader fell victim to a brutal attack on an open street in central Stockholm. The murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme was a unique assault on our democracy. In a state governed by the rule of law like Sweden, everything should have been done to solve this crime.
It is unacceptable that today, forty years later, the murder remains unsolved, when not all possibilities have yet been explored to find an indisputable and definitive solution.

Such a failure, leaving lasting doubts about the willingness to turn over every stone, is not worthy of a state governed by law.
