Some of the year's most important and most read articles

It’s time for the annual roundup of the year’s most read and important articles. The entire editorial staff would also like to take this opportunity to thank all readers who support the newspaper and have stood by our side during the protracted legal battles that Samnytt has gone through. Without your support, both for the newspaper and legal costs, Samnytt might not exist today.

Now we can instead look forward, continue developing the newspaper, dig into important topics, and deliver uncensored news – just as we have done every single day throughout the years. A big thank you to everyone who reads and supports Samnytt.

But first, a New Year’s greeting from Kent Ekeroth, Samnytt’s founder and unpaid CEO:

Below, we have gathered a selection of our most read or most important articles of the year. Since Samnytt’s inception, we have published over 31,000 articles, and in 2026, we want to scale up, keep digging, and give you news that establishment media is eager to censor or slant in order to hide.

The most read article this year is a very recent and tragic news story. It’s about a case many of you have read about and been appalled by: the dismemberment murder of a 25-year-old woman on the night after Christmas, carried out by a pedophile, also a child kidnapper and transvestite.

Samnytt was first to reveal the killer’s name – a female name that was not public, protected by secrecy after the state granted him protected identity. The person, previously named Robin Säbb Hjerth and Robin Andersson among others, now presents as a woman and goes by the name Vilma Andersson, a name that clearly references Wilma Andersson who was dismembered in Uddevalla in 2019.

After that, all of Swedish media used Samnytt’s information in their reporting about “Vilma.”

This past spring, Samnytt’s former editor-in-chief Mats Dagerlind was sentenced to serve a prison term. The background is the newspaper’s reporting about the legal dispute between citizen journalist Joakim Lamotte and Näthatsgranskaren, coverage deemed to have violated Swedish law.

The verdict against Yazied Mohamed, who avoided deportation after raping 16-year-old Meya Åberg in Skellefteå, caused strong reactions. Appeals court judge Lars Viktorsson explained to Samnytt the decision not to deport the 19-year-old Eritrean.

– “It was a short-lived incident,” he told Samnytt.

Sweden’s insane priorities in migration policy are a constant cause for outrage. That’s why our story about how Sweden allows a terrorist to stay but deports a well-adjusted 18-year-old assistant nurse from Ukraine was a popular and provoking read.

Samnytt’s exposé about how a TV4 reporter hired a gang criminal to threaten his child’s grandmother also drew significant attention.

Swedish 4H farms have in recent years increasingly become targets of harassment, animal cruelty, and threatening situations. Several farm managers have raised the alarm about a reality where animals are harmed, rules are ignored, and female staff are met or threatened when they intervene.

Despite this, there is a pronounced reluctance to speak plainly about who is causing the problems. Samnytt interviewed a managing director who, after several critical questions, shared more.

– “I haven’t had any problems with Swedes doing that,” the manager said.

After the election, plans for a new mosque in Kalmar picked up speed and in the summer of 2025, permits were granted for the facility, which will accommodate several hundred people. The decision has long been controversial and critics have pointed to a lack of transparency in the process, especially regarding finances and ideological links.

Samnytt highlighted claims that the mosque construction may be the result of a silent political deal between the Social Democrats and the Muslim community, rather than just a local planning decision.

Member of Parliament Lawen Redar, the Social Democrats’ culture spokesperson, wants to build more rental apartments in Sweden’s residential areas to ‘mix’ the population. Lawen Redar herself lives in a villa; but not in Sweden – instead in Denmark.

Migrant-related crime is always upsetting. The story of how an 18-year-old woman working as a temp postwoman in Västerås was raped at knifepoint, in broad daylight, drew many readers. An Afghan was charged for the crime.

The way the wind power industry pressures politicians to approve projects, and how critical residents are labeled as ‘climate deniers’ and ‘Russian influence’, attracted considerable attention.

Over the past 25 years, the number of Muslim congregations in Sweden has grown dramatically, from just a few to about 300 according to Samnytt’s figures from the Authority for Support to Religious Communities (SST).

On national television’s website, the words “right-wing extremist”, “right-wing extremism”, and “right-wing extremists” appear a total of 6,160 times. The corresponding words for the left – “left-wing extremist”, “left-wing extremism”, and “left-wing extremists” – appear only 78 times. That’s what a Google search shows. The security police consider both environments as security threats, but SVT’s reporting suggests a different reality, one apparently driven by editorial ideology.

Gang violence is often something people are interested in reading about. It was the same when a ‘Swedish’ Afghan killed a ‘Swedish’ gangster rapper in the holiday paradise of Spain.

When Mariestad inaugurated the world’s first solar-powered hydrogen refueling station in October 2019, followed by a ‘hydrogen kindergarten’, hopes were high. The municipality’s politicians wanted to meet Agenda 2030 objectives and profile themselves as pioneers in fossil-free technology.

They even promised the initiative would turn the people of Mariestad into their own ‘oil sheikhs’. The result, however, was a multimillion loss as the project is now being sold for ‘slightly more than scrap value.’

We have a feature series about Swedish suburbs that were supposed to be futuristic but have now become ghettos that people are fleeing from. The articles were widely read and one of them was about Kista – once lauded as “Sweden’s Silicon Valley” – which turned into something else.

Just like in 2024, humiliating violence against Swedes was a topic that made an impact. When an eight-year-old boy in Umeå, out riding his bike, was stopped by a threatening teen with an immigrant background and forced to strip naked, there were many outraged reactions.

In August last year, a 56-year-old Swedish bank official was shot dead in Skurup, Skåne. Now, hearings are underway against five teenage boys with immigrant backgrounds. But none of them can be convicted of the murder, since all were under fifteen years old when the crime was committed.

More and more Swedes are leaving a Sweden marked by gang crime, bombings, and lost safety. In Åland, they find a society where social control, small-scale living, and cultural familiarity still prevail. Samnytt has interviewed and taken a closer look at why the outflow is growing, and what it says about Sweden.

More and more Swedish parents of young children are choosing to leave Sweden. It’s not just about crime and fear – but also about parenting, culture, gender ideology, and the right to raise their children in peace. One of the mothers who relocated to Åland tells Samnytt about girls being called ‘whores’ in school and that ‘it’s always non-European young men’ doing this.

– ‘I am so happy today that my daughters are not called whores at school,’ says the mother, who now lives on Åland.

He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for rape, even though the woman mixed up dates, had taken nitrous oxide, hallucinated, and herself said she may have seen him in visions. The witness did not show up. Evidence was lacking. Joakim (not his real name) tells his story to Samnytt – and his mother Jeanette refuses to stay silent.

A Swedish family in Norrköping was awakened late one night in September by two Syrian men standing in their bedroom pointing a gun at them while shouting. This was not a nightmare; the masked men had broken into the family’s home and started a robbery.

The family was threatened with death and the man had a gun repeatedly pressed to his temple and was beaten in the head with it, causing a brain hemorrhage. Now the Syrians have been convicted for that terrifying night, but they cannot be deported to Syria because they obtained Swedish citizenship at record speed.
