A 38-year-old Iraqi home care worker, Shakir Mahmoud Shakir, was sentenced to four years in prison for raping a vulnerable 100-year-old woman in Stockholm, Sweden.
Although Shakir was convicted of this rape, he was acquitted of a separate rape charge involving a 94-year-old woman and thus avoided deportation.
RMX News reports:
The incident occurred in October when the 100-year-old victim was suffering from chest pains. Instead of receiving an ambulance, she was visited by Shakir, who was employed in the home service sector. According to the woman’s interrogation testimony, Shakir told her, “They have said that you should be anointed.”
He proceeded to use an ointment and an unknown object to assault her. Despite her yelling at him to stop, he continued the abuse for approximately 10 minutes without responding to her.
“Then I was ready to cry. And I thought, you work here. And then you do this to people. And against women,” the 100-year-old woman recounted in her statement.
The prosecutor requested his expulsion from the country because Shakir is a citizen of Iraq but was rejected.
Judge Mohamed Ali, who was appointed in June 2025, refused to issue the deportation order.
Swedish news outlet Expressen reported that the judge said that Shakir is “established” in Sweden and “has good contact with his daughter, who is a Swedish citizen.
The court further found that there were no ‘humiliating or degrading elements’ when Shakir raped the woman.
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson shared on X, “I believe many people, like me, have reacted to the horrific news about a 100-year-old woman who was raped in a place where she should have been safe and cared for. Instead, it became a site for a terrible assault. It makes me angry and strengthens my conviction that we must bring about change.”
“If you’re not a Swedish citizen and commit such horrific acts, you’ve forfeited your right to be in Sweden.”
“Anything else is offensive and deeply disrespectful to the crime victim.”
“Next year, Sweden will have the toughest legislation in all of Scandinavia when it comes to deporting foreign citizens who commit serious crimes. Sweden is also leading the charge to change the application of the European Convention so that ties won’t play this role. No previous government has gone this far to make Sweden safer.”
“However, I want to go even further and also review those parts of the Refugee Convention that hinder the deportation of refugees who commit crimes.”
“This coddling of serious criminals must stop. My government will always work to protect crime victims and their right to redress.”
Jag tror många med mig reagerat på den fruktansvärda nyheten om en 100-åring som våldtogs på en plats där hon ska vara trygg och bli omhändertagen. Istället blev det en plats för ett fruktansvärt övergrepp. Jag blir arg och stärkt i min övertygelse om att vi måste få till en…
