was closed on Sept. 7 after concluding that police had done nothing wrong.
"This is very normal (when you have) disorderly behavior," he was quoted as
saying by the Aftonbladet newspaper, one of Sweden's largest.
"Police have the right to remove a person from one place to another," he
said.
Citing a police report, the tabloid said two people were lying on a sofa in
the hotel lobby and refused to leave the premises at about 1:45 a.m. About
25 minutes later, a police patrol decided to remove them and the two people
started screaming, reportedly about "human rights."
The incident comes amid low-level tensions between Stockholm and Beijing
over China's detention of a Chinese-born Swedish national on suspicion of
leaking state secrets.
China has rebuked Sweden for demanding the release of Hong Kong-based
bookseller Gui Minhai, 53, who was taken off a train by police in eastern
China on Jan. 20 while in the company of two Swedish diplomats with whom he
was traveling to Beijing.
A Swedish court on Friday also found a man guilty of spying for China by
gathering information on Tibetans who had fled to Sweden and sentenced him
to 22 months in jail.
That came during a visit to Sweden by the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan
Buddhist spiritual leader whom China labels a dangerous separatist. China
routinely demands foreign nations bar him entry to deny him a platform to
speak.
