'Brutal' treatment of tourists protested

A case of Chinese tourists being abused by police in Stockholm, Sweden, has gripped the public since the Chinese embassy in Sweden released a statement on the incident on Saturday.

Around midnight on Sept 2, a Chinese man and his 64-and 67-year-old parents, were mistreated by Stockholm police, said the statement on the website of the Chinese embassy in Sweden.

The embassy said it was deeply appalled and angered that three Chinese tourists were "brutally abused by the Swedish police".
