Sven Olof Joachim Palme (Olof Palme (help·info)) (January 30, 1927 – March 1, 1986) was a Swedish politician.
Palme was the leader of the Social Democratic Party from 1969 to 1986 and was the Prime Minister of Sweden with a Privy Council Government from 1969 to 1976 and a cabinet government from 1982 until his assassination in 1986. Palme's murder was the first of its kind in modern Swedish history and had an impact across Scandinavia.[1]

Wasn't he prime minister or president of Swedan? And, wasn't he murdered suspiciously and possibly by our CIA? Sorry, my memory escapes me because it was quite a few years ago, 1980's if I'm not mistaken. He was a great leader in the peace and labor movement and he opposed the nuclear arms race. If I'm not mistaken didn't he also oppose the Apartheid system in South Africa and the U.S involvement with the Contras in Nicaragua? He was well loved by many people around the world for his stance on peace and justice. I only remember bits and pieces of this. And, I only remember it because at the time I was also involved with the peace and justice movement through my church.

I didn't Google him, but I remember that he was the Swedish Prime Minister who was murdered on the streets of Stockholm about 20-25 years ago.

The Swedish Prime minister? What about him? I am an American, and it seems like I remember him being assassinated in the 80's sometime. Don't remember much else about him though.
