Dragsvik Garrison Punishes Group Leaders for Bullying

Two group leaders at Nyland Brigade have been found guilty of misuse of authority at the military training centre in Dragsvik, Tammisaari, which provides military training for Swedish-speaking conscripts.

A third group leader, who was also suspected of abusing authority, has been freed of charges.

As punishment, the two bullying group leaders have both been confined to the military area for nine days. The hazing actions were reportedly "Taliban-themed."

A military lawyer and a company commander were involved in uncovering the details of the bullying.
