FORMAL COMPLAINT - Sweden Confidential

OSLO 1992
United Nations petition — incomplete report
We‘re back to August, 1992. At that time I was living in Oslo, Norway, where I
regularly/daily engaged in human rights and eleemosynary/peacekeeping work.
In connection to my altruistic endeavors, I frequently visited idealistic organizat-
ions and periodicals etc — sometimes I made lapidary notes about this activity
in my diaries: the 5 th I had an assignment with ―Gateavisa‖* (*a liberal street pa-
per) and the subsequent day with ―FMK‖* (*a pacifist coalition).....then, the 7 th ,
I had appointments with e.g the newspapers ―Dag og Tid‖ and ―VG‖* (*―Verdens
Gang‖) in order to secure moral support and specialized know-how for said
publication/association. There was seldom less than 20 distinct visits etc of this
kind a month, and later — after permanently settling in NO-Brattvåg — I‘ve
met two of the coryphaei from this likable and humanitarian milieu in Oslo
through the organization ―We Shall Overcome‖* (*a private support structure
for persons mainly in conflict with psychiatry).....; I‘m talking about Tormod
and Ulf.
Both university educated and well above average intelligent, Tormod and Ulf
told the same, depressing story: they‘d been systematically terrorized by the
Norwegian Police ―Security‖ Service for years exclusively because they actively
battled human rights violations, warlike preparations and various criminality
perpetrated by v.g Norwegian politicians and police officers. They‘d both seri-
ously contemplated applying for political asylum, but their family commitments
had spoiled these plans. Nevertheless; Tormod — then the leader of the We
Shall Overcome organization — had received some official, pecuniary compen-
sation for parts of the illegal terror imposed by Norwegian police. Ulf and
Tormod agreed the police premeditatedly had attempted to ruin their health and
economy etc by e.g launching utterly false accusations thus forcing them into
destructive and highly stigmatizing contact with the state operated, psychiatric
hell-machinery.
It should be emphasized that the maltreatment of Ulf and Tormod no way is
unique: within outlined milieu nearly all principal human rights activists in Oslo
had equally disgusting experiences with Norwegian authorities and with the police
in particular — óne had to run away from a train while on Inter-Rail in a
foreign country eagerly persecuted by a bunch armed security officers (the Am-
erican diplomat successfully arranging his final escape had the episode investi-
gated through his excellent contacts in the intelligence services, and it was read-
ily uncovered the authorities in the actual country had received at least one veri-
fiable warning from the Norwegian ―Security‖ Service Police in Oslo who had
