The Conservative Party asks the Minister of Justice to come to the scene After several shooting incidents in recent months, the Conservative Party requests an urgent meeting with the Minister of Justice. The local politicians at Sagene want direct contact with Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) and Oslo’s police chief Beate Gangås. – In the space of a few months, we have had four serious shooting incidents in the neighborhood of Torshov. This is a completely unsustainable development that we can no longer accept. We are now asking Justice Minister Mehl and Police Chief Gangås to come forward with concrete measures to ensure safety in the district, says leader Jonas Økland of Sagene Høyre, according to NTB. He says that many people in the district are now very scared, feel insecure and are afraid to send their children out to play. On Thursday, Sagene Høyre will send a letter to Mehl and Gangås and ask that the elected representatives know what immediate measures will now be taken against the serious crime in the area.
