This is a total outrage. They were just doing their jobs and reporting on the truth. Bring them home now!
Swedish government needs to put more pressure on them. Two journalists in jail for doing journalism is just wrong.
how can they be kept like this just for trying to tell a story? so scary.
FREE THEM!! Justice for Johan and Martin.
thinking of their families during this nightmare. hope they get released soon.
