Sofie Löwenmark is a Swedish journalist.[1] She specializes in warning against "Islamic extremism", where her writings are suspected to be coordinated with the Swedish Security Service.

Background

Sofie Löwenmark grew up in Gothenburg with her grandparents and then with her aunt, when her Moroccan father murdered her Swedish mother in 1981 when she was one year old.[2] The murder was triggered by the couple's separation.[3] She has spoken about her upbringing and perceived inadequacies from society regarding her rights as a victim of crime, and has been active in the debate about the inappropriateness of fathers convicted of serious crimes being able to continue as custodians. Only after a long time did the father leave the custody of Löwenmark to her aunt, and when she was six years old he died in prison.[2]

Journalism

In 2021, Löwenmark exposed that a journalist at Eko newsroom at the government channel Sveriges Radio, had a relationship with Raad al-Duhan, who was judged by the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) together with his father Abo Raad to be a threat to Sweden. The exposure caused a stir as the journalist had made around fifteen reports on the handling of the deportation of six Islamists, among them Abdel Nasser El Nadi and Abo Raad, with a critical tendency towards the Security Service.[4][5]

Jan Guillou called this exposure for "sex gossip" and wrote:


So who is this all-seeing Sofie Löwenmark? Hard to say. She does not seem to have any background as a journalist, researcher or Säpo employee. But she is, if not a spokesperson, then at least a figurehead in the media for the organization doku.nu, which is a hybrid between a privatized intelligence service and a fighting group against the Islamist danger. The members of the group are few, but including some well known debaters...They keep archives of suspected persons and have an intimate collaboration with Säpo, which provides them with material for newspaper articles which are usually signed "Sofie Löwenmark".

In her latest article on Expressen's editorial page (Feb. 5), this would-be writer boasts how she, that is, the combat organization doku.nu, completely crushed a young journalist at Dagens eko as punishment for outrageous revelations about the rule of law Sweden's treatment of a Raad Duhan, who has been accused without public evidence of some vague form of terrorism and whose most serious offense seems to be that he is the son of a, possibly on good grounds, particularly suspect imam.

The disfavored person has thus been locked up and sentenced to deportation and deprived of his means of livelihood because of evidence so secret that neither the lawyer nor the court were allowed to see it. So he is innocent. And now he has the guts to speak disparagingly about Swedish democracy! Which probably most of us would have done in his place.

Everything I have just described is legal and permitted, possibly with a small question mark for that private opinion or people register. But the latter is legally subtleties, and Säpo will never want to intervene. The essential thing to point out is the legality, also regarding the collaboration with Säpo, which Säpo also has every reason to like.

The organization doku.nu is subject to the same freedom of press and expression as any sewing association. And so it shall be. But the unsuspecting, not to use the politicians' buzzword "naivety", of the media who offer a platform to this particular movement, and take their uncontrolled statements and terrifying claims at face value, is a problem. They should pull down their ears in shame. One can never know whether the message comes from the activists or from Säpo. Such hidden exercise of authority can be practical from the authority's perspective.[6]
