A ”slave auction” held by a Lund student group in April was a ”costume party” meaning no charges will be filed against the organizers, according to the prosecution authority in Skåne in southern Sweden.

Prosecutor: slave auction was ‘costume party’ – The Local

From the article:

The incident, where three people with blackened faces and ropes around their necks were led into the hall by a “slave trader” and later sold, occurred at student association Halland Nation in April.

It was reported to the police by the Afro-Swedish Association.

After the incident, posters depicting chairman Momodou in chains started appearing in several public places in Lund and at the Malmö University College.
