So, I sent an email to the guy's office. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Got a response:

Dear Mr. Bucher

Thank you for your e-mail. On behalf of Jens Orback, Minister for Democracy, Metropolitan Affairs, Integration and Gender Equality, I will give you the following information.

The utterance in question has to be seen in its proper context. What the minister said must not be understood in a literal sense but from a principle point of view. For the Swedish Government, the task of strengthening human rights and respect for them has high priority and Mr. Orback pointed out that you should drive the question of human rights in the way you wished it should be driven if you yourself were in a minority.

Yours sincerely

Jan Persson

Managment Support and Administration Division
Ministry of Justice
