During a graduation ceremony at a high school in Malmö, the principal forcibly took a Palestinian flag from a student.

The incident occurred as students were celebrating on stage, resulting in a confrontation.

A viral video of the incident shows the principal pushing the student off the stage while taking the flag.

The school's reason for this action was a flag ban during the event, a rule put in place for safety and to avoid political messages on school grounds.

The school and local authorities are now investigating the incident.
