Queen Silvia would have received a prize at Uppsala University on Wednesday.

The prize is awarded by the organization Scandinavian Human Rights Lawyers, which has links to abortion opposition.

Now notifies the court that the Queen will not receive it.

On Wednesday, it was thought that Queen Silvia would receive a prize at Uppsala University for his work with the world’s children.

The Queen would not only receive the price to attend a seminar on trafficking and human trafficking.

Behind the event and the awards ceremony is legal organization Scandinavian Human Rights Lawyers. Two of the three times the price has gone to abortion opponents.

The Conference has been sharply criticized, and the Queen’s participation has been challenged, including by Aftonbladet writer Eva Franchell.

On Sunday night announced the court through his website that the queen sets her participation in the seminar and refrain from receiving the prize Scandinavian Human Dignity Award in 2014.

– The Queen will say no to the price, says Margareta Thorngren, CIO at court, told Aftonbladet.

She explains the background to the Queen’s decision to refrain from participating in the seminar and receiving the prize are the trafficking issue has been overlooked.

– With the Queen has decided not to participate in the conference.

Even Uppsala University has decided not to participate.

Has the Queen’s decision something to do with the fact that the price has a clear connection to abortion resistance?

– Of course, there have been several tours around the Scandinavian organization Human Rights Lawyers. It takes focus away from the important main question. The University will arrange for a new conference for a new trainer in the spring and it stands the queen in favor. Queen endorses Uppsala University decision, says Margareta Thorngren.

Earlier in the weekend, it was clear that Mark Klamberg, doctor of law, which would have given lectures at the conference on Wednesday, had decided to skip the event.

When Aftonbladet reaches him, he explains that he decided to cancel his participation in Friday. The reason for the defection he would not comment.

– I have announced that I will not participate, then I have no comment beyond that. I will not participate, that’s all I can tell, he says.
