**Fact-Check Wey Don Show:**

Dis claim na big lie! Dem talk say "migrants wey no be from Europe commit 84% of bad rape for Sweden" no get any proof from Sweden official crime data.

From latest research and report—like wetin Lund University and Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) do—about two-thirds (around 63%) of people wey court convict for rape or try rape for Sweden na foreign-born or second-gen immigrants. But dis one no mean say na only non-Europeans, and e no reach 84% at all. Plus, just because dem dey show for crime stats no mean say na their background cause am. Poverty, how people report crime, and population difference fit play big role.

If you wan check, go look latest Brå reports or proper research on crime and immigration for Sweden.
