The author Ulf Bjereld describes Geijer in his book '' Och jag är fri '' ( 2015 ) as a willful leftist who wanted to demolish all prisons and fought for stronger labour law and free abortion . Carl Persson was not as inclined to let the prisoners free , which exacerbated an already tense relationship with the Minister of Justice . Geijer was on the whole quite controversial , including through the sexual crimes investigation which suggested a loosening of the concept of rape , prompting Maria-Pia Boëthius and other feminists to go through the roof . Geijer was Minister of Justice during the aircraft hijacking at Bulltofta in 1972 , the Norrmalmstorg robbery in 1973 and the bombing of the West German embassy in 1975 , all of which he himself negotiated with the robbers and terrorists . Geijer stepped down as Minister of Justice after the Social Democratic election defeat in 1976
