Sweden bans reporter (57)

It said God created man and woman as biologically different, separate beings, and said they must not tinker with that plan or try to “make oneself God”.

“It follows that any sexchange intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document said.

It distinguished between transitioning surgeries, which it rejected, and “genital abnormalities” that are present at birth or that develop later.

Those abnormalities can be “resolved” with the help of health care professionals, it said.

SWEDEN has expelled a Chinese female journalist, claiming she was a threat to national security, the media reported yesterday.

The reporter (57), was arrested in October, expelled by the government last week and is banned from returning, broadcaster SVT reported.

Her lawyer, Leutrim Kadriu, said he could not go into “exact details” due to the circumstances but said the woman does not think she poses a threat to Sweden.

AN IRISH family’s dad has marked his three years’ Iraq jail hell by revealing fears that he might not survive the prison ordeal.

Construction engineer Rob Pether, (49) has been locked up in Baghdad since April 7, 2021, in a €20 million contract row between his

Dubai-based employer and the

Central Bank of

Iraq.

Release

Rob’s Irish wife Desree, (52) and their kids in Roscommon have been campaigning for his release – but he has publicly expressed fears for the first time that time could be running out.

Rob, who is originally from Australia, has begged for help and warned that he may not survive much longer.

He said from prison: “Please help me and get me home. I just feel abandoned. I am sick and worried I will not survive this ordeal much longer.” He added: “I am asking all Australians to please write to Prime Minister [Anthony] Albanese and Foreign Minister [Penny] Wong and ask them to do more.”

Rob appealed to his supporters to “do everything they possibly can to get me home to my family” in Ireland.

He was arrested in 2021 during a meeting in Iraq to discuss stalled works on the new bank in Baghdad and locked in a torture chamber.

Rob lives in Elphin, Co Roscommon, with Desree and is dad to children Dylan (30) Flynn (20) Oscar (18) and Nala (11).
