I also have more confidence in the police, Siavash Mirghafari

The reason is a good dialogue.

Discussion post

The police visited the Møhlenpris IL facility to have a dialogue meeting with our youth on September 2nd. First, the police lost a bit in table tennis and billiards, and then they gained the confidence of the young people through good dialogue.

The police gave an informational message about the role of the police in society, before answering the engaged questions of the young people for almost an hour. Such meetings build more trust in the police.

Chief of Police Kåre Songstad and Justice Minister Monica Mæland praised the young people for writing a great letter to young people in Oslo before Sian’s demonstration in front of the Storting. The letter encourages young people to do good deeds instead of showing up at the rally and falling into Sian’s trap.

This positive feedback from police leaders also builds more trust in the police.

One of ours A few days ago, young people were not invited to the police station to apologize for their behavior during the demonstration, without involving the media or us in Møhlenpris Idrettslag. It is a sign of genuine remorse and trust in the police. It takes self-criticism, and it is through self-criticism and constructive criticism that we develop.

But I find it difficult to understand the criticism in what he writes here, Siavash Mirghafari (BT September 3): “I read later that these young people from Bergen are sorry and sorry, but what happened in Oslo on Saturday shows that this is not an event unique, but probably an event planned to create unrest in society.

You think that Are our young people in Bergen in cahoots with the protesters in Oslo and therefore responsible for the deeds of others? And do you think further that your appeals in the letter to the youth in Oslo were just fabrications and that your real agenda is to create unrest in society?

I am directly surprised and disappointed by your statements, Siavash.

More fighting I understand what it takes to forgive someone who has made a mistake. Clearly, it is not enough that young people have publicly admitted their mistakes and apologized. Nor is it enough for them that they have written a letter to the youth of Oslo and encouraged them to build society through the right decisions instead of going to the demonstration.

You criticize and judge our young people, without even having met or talked to them. You should be too good at judging people you don’t know.

In the same text You also criticize the organizations that work with integration. On behalf of Møhlenpris Idrettslag, I must say that I feel beaten. The criticism seems unprofessional, so it is appropriate with some insight into Møhlenpris Idrettslag:

Møhlenpris IL was founded in 2010 with 20 participants. At the last count, we were more than 300 young people of 33 different nationalities. All growth has been organic. Approximately 30 percent of our participants are girls. A large part of our participants do not actively participate in any other form of organized activity.

We are a key partner for the municipality in preventing radicalization. We are a key partner of the municipality for crime prevention. We work hard to help young people to work and we have had success with many.

We keep many various courses focused on integration, including flirting courses to strengthen young people’s understanding of what is flirting and what is bullying.

All activities are directed and directed by young leaders; young people who have a natural leadership role in their group and who receive skills development through leadership training, in order to manage greater responsibility. All our activities are free.

Although we are a sports team, our main objective is the development of people. If sport does not make us better people, sport is in vain.

After the tragedy Said Chataya’s murder in Circle K in February last year, we participated in monitoring the environment around Said. This came naturally to us, as we knew the whole environment and had the confidence of those involved. The environment is constantly monitored, even if they are not active MIL members.

We do this because we have a moral responsibility to contribute. You will never see the results of this work, because the results are only visible to those who have knowledge of the environment, and it should be.

In the wake of At the Bergen demonstration, we have arranged four meetings with the young people involved in a week and a half. The first conversation lasted five hours, instead of the planned two hours. Young people needed to speak up and we listened and led as best we could.

We didn’t need to tell them that the violence they were committing was wrong, they had already come to that on their own a few hours after the demonstration. But they needed to be seen, heard, and guided to find good solutions. The result was a public apology and a letter to the youth of Oslo.

That is good critical, but make sure it is knowledge-based in the future. Irregular statements only create distance and mistrust. Knowledge makes criticism constructive and constructive. I’m sure you would benefit greatly from speaking with one of the young people involved. Then the criticism would have been better.

Møhlenpris Idrettslag he has never defended the violence of our youth. We have held them accountable. But we have also forgiven them, because we believe that everyone can make mistakes and that we can learn a lot from them if they are thoroughly processed.

The next time I make a mistake, I hope I can be as brave as these young men. It’s not easy to apologize or criticize yourself. It is even more difficult to do it in public, where one runs the risk of being criticized in an unreasonable and unworthy way.

Our young people have assumed their responsibility, without trying to explain or defend their mistakes. Many of us have something to learn from them. I am proud of them and have full confidence in them.
