The plane from Göteborg to Istanbul could not take off because the Swede was standing. The young man explained on social media that he could not allow the plane to take off with the Afghan inside, because in Afghanistan he would probably be killed.”

Some travelers have tried to obstruct the young man’s action by saying that he was “wasting time”. However, she has faced complaints by asking the following question: “What is more important to waste time or lose life?”

After two hours, they put in more passengers and managed to get the Afghan off the plane.

Ersson has recorded the entire protest and broadcast it through facebook live to the whole world.

Although he has achieved his goal, he may be sentenced to six months in prison for standing on the plane for two hours, ignoring the pilot.
