Anger in Sweden after the news that the rapist knows as “The Mine Shaft Afghan” is already being granted leave from prison.
In 2022, he raped a woman and pushed her down a 24 meter deep mine shaft before throwing bricks on her body.
She survived somehow.
Taher Amini, who was sentenced to life in prison, has been granted leave from prison.
The decision has been made despite the risk of recidivism in sexual offenses being assessed as high.
Taher Amini was sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation for aggravated rape and attempted murder following the high-profile incident in the spring of 2022.
The woman survived after lying severely injured in a 24-meter-deep mine shaft for a day before she was found by passersby.
According to the court, Amini attacked the woman after she rejected his demand for marriage.
He raped and assaulted her and then pushed her down the mine shaft.
While she was still alive, he threw bricks down at her.
Amini has been granted permission for what is known as a “lufthålspermission” (short “fresh air” leave).
During the leave, he is, among other things, allowed to visit a restaurant, go to a bookstore and spend time in a shopping center.
Documents show that this is not the first time Amini has been granted leave.
The decision to grant him these leaves has sparked significant public controversy due to the severity of the crime and the high assessed risk of sexual recidivism.
