Survivor of Assault Brutality – Help Me Fight for Justice

Donation protected
On the cold night of January 7, 2023, the evening started like any other. I just needed a break — a little fun, music, dancing. But I had no idea I wouldn’t be able to dance again for a very long time.

I was violently assaulted by five security guards while two police officers stood by and watched. I was handcuffed, face shoved into the snow, and had my leg deliberately twisted until the bones shattered — a calculated assault that destroyed my career, my physical and mental health, and nearly my life. Not only that night, but in the dark days that followed.

Over 800 days have passed. I’ve had multiple surgeries. I live with constant pain between 5 and 8 out of 10, permanent injury, PTSD, and depression. Yet, the Swedish justice system closed my case — no proper investigation, no forensic analysis, no one held accountable.

When I close my eyes, I don’t see peace. I see the people who hurt me — toasting, laughing, celebrating the fact that they walked away without facing justice.

Now, I’m fighting back — legally, publicly, and globally — but I can’t do this alone.

The police refuse to reopen the case unless I bring in more: eyewitnesses, forensic opinions from orthopedic and sports medicine experts, and even testimonies from MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, or Judo coaches who can confirm that this type of injury was no accident — that it required skill, force, and malicious intent.

I also need a strong lawyer to take this case forward, but Swedish legal support is expensive — around 200€ per hour, and I simply can’t afford that without your help.

How You Can Help:
Donate whatever you can — every euro makes a difference.

Share this GoFundMe on social media, with your friends, groups, and communities.

Sign and share the petition to demand justice and force the reopening of my case https://www.change.org/help-me-fight-4-justice

Speak up — help me expose what happened, so no one else has to suffer this kind of silence.

Your support will help me:

Reopen the case

Access legal and medical experts

Contact human rights organizations

Go public with media to expose what really happened

If you believe in truth, accountability, and human rights — please stand with me.
No one should go through this. And no one should be left to fight for justice alone.

All the money raised will be to pay a lawyer, to start a civil lawsuit against each guard, for medical treatment to correct the foot mobility and reduce the pain as much as possibible. Will it be also to cover, the professional opinion of doctors, fighters and coaches.

All the money left after it is all done, it will be use to help and support other victim that just like me, were silenced by the system.
