Background:

JA is on a longer stay in Sweden for various reasons. Among other things, he will speak at a “Brotherhood” seminar. AA handles JAs invitation and is in contact with JA before the visit. It is generally believed that JA spends his first nights in AAs apartment in Stockholm. (Fri, Aug 13 – Mon, Aug 16?). Probably even Wed night, Aug 17 – Friday, Aug 19. AA is probably working outside of Stockholm some of these days.

Friday Aug 13:

During this night (or maybe during the night between Saturday and Sunday), the incident that makes AA report JA to the police, occurs.

Saturday, Aug 14:

- JA delivers his speech at the Brotherhood seminar. SW acts as a photographer during the seminar although it seems as she has not been invited as a photographer. SW manages to get invited to the lunch (with JA) held after the seminar.

- JA och SW hang out in the afternoon.

- Crayfish party in the home of AA in the evening. Participants:

AA
JA
Possibly: Pirate Party member 1 (The Pirate Party is a small, Swedish Political Party).
Possibly: Pirate Party member 2
Possibly journalist 1
Possibly journalist 2
Perhaps a few more persons.

Monday, Aug 16:

JA travels by train with SW to Enköping and stays the night in her home. During the night or in the morning, the incident that makes SW report JA to the police, occurs.

Wednesday, Aug 18:

AA and SW – who have not met before according to their own statements – get in touch during the day (or maybe during Thu, Aug 19). Then the following happens:

Friday, Aug 20:

- During the afternoon (possibly around 2 p.m.) AA and SW enter the Klara Police Station in central Stockholm to discuss some things they say they have experienced while being with JA.
- The police officer handling the case creates one report concerning rape involving SW and one concerning molestation (which is not necessarily a sexually related crime in Sweden) involving AA..
- Rumours say that AA claims that JA intentionally broke a condom. (Later, JA denies this while being interrogated by the police).
- MHK decides to arrest JA in his absence for one count of rape and one count of sexual molestation.
- Within hours, someone leaks information about MHKs decision (including JAs name) to tabloid ”Expressen”.
- Against good practice, MHK confirms the story when a reporter from Expressen calls her. Her excuse seems to be that she got the impression that Expressen already knew all the details, and thus, she might just as well confirm(!).
- Within 24 hours, the story is in the media all over the world.
- The soruce/leak is still unidentified.
- Perhaps SW takes a test for some diseases.

Saturday, Aug 21:

- Chief prosecutor EF cancels the arrest warrant for JA. Says EF: “I do not believe that there is any reason so suspect him of rape”. The report on molestation remains, but it is now unclear whether it is considered sexual or not..

Tuesday, Aug 24:
- Attorney Claes Borgström (CB) is suggested as legal representative of AA and SW.
- Attorney Leif Silbersky (LS) is suggested as legal representative of JA
- At http://rebellabloggen.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/wikileakshjaltar-kan-ocksa-gora-puckade-saker/ (a blog for young feminists from the social democratic party) blogger Sara Gunnerud publishes what seems to be AAs version of what happened. It gives the impression that JA has had unsafe sex against AAs will. And that AA and SW went to the police to find out if it possible to force JA to take a test för sexually transferred diseases (STD). Sara Gunnerud also gives a negative description of JAs attitude towards women. But she gives praise to Wikileaks.

Wendesday, Aug 25:

- EF issues a statement where she announces that a preliminary investigation concerning one count of molestation (the word “sexual” is not mentioned) will be opened.
- As to the rape charges, EF says that she does not question the information delivered by SW, but that this information is such that there is no suspicion of rape at hand. Link: http://www.aklagare.se/Media/Nyheter/Beslut-i-Assangearendet-onsdag/
- In conversation with LS, JA says that he is completely innocent both from a legal point of view and from a moral one. He also adds that he has already suffered “enormous damage” from what has occurred.

Friday, Aug 27:

- Just before swedish authorities close their offices for the weekend, CB delivers an appeal of EFs decision. CB now requests that JA be charged with two counts of rape, one against AA and one against SW

Sunday, Aug 29 – Tuesday, Aug 31:

- According to Swedish newspaper Resumé, the first hint to tabloid Expressen came by SMS from a source which is yet to be identified. The SMS was delivered to free lance photographer Stefan Söderström who was at the governmental residence of Harpsund for a gathering with the Swedish government. Also at Harpsund was political journalist Niklas Svensson who works for Expressen. Svensson informs Expressen reporter Diamant Salihu, who digs up more information by contacting at least one other source. Then he calls duty prosecutor MHK who, inexplicably, confirms the fact that JA is arrested in his absence.
- According to a stubborn rumour from several sources, the incident between SW and JA should be that they had unsafe sex. It is not known whether, or in which way, safe sex had been agreed upon between the parties.

Monday, aug 30:

-JA is interrogated about the molestation charge against AA (but not about the rape charges). The charge seems to be that JA deliberately made a hole in a condom. JA denies doing so. Expressen publishes parts of the interrogation: http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/1.2118961/har-ar-forhoret-med-assange-ord-for-ord

Wednesday, Sep 1:

- The case has now been handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office´s “Development Unit” in Gothenburg, where the head of the department, Chief Prescutor Marianne Ny (MN) decides to reopen the preliminary investigation of one count of rape (against SW) and that the preliminary investigation of one count of molestation (against AA) is to be reopened and expanded to include “all events” in the police report.
http://www.aklagare.se/Media/Nyheter/Overprovningsbeslut-i-Assangearendet/

Friday, Aug 3:

- SW is interrogated a second time about the alleged rape.
- MN and her assistant prosecutor go through all existing material

Monday, Sep 6:

- JA requests that his legal representative LS be replaced by attorney Björn Hurtig (BH).

Tusesday, Sep 7:

- JA is granted the switch from LS to BH.

Saturday, Sep 11:

In an interview in the legal newspaper “Dagens Juridik” (a low profile newspaper for the legal community), BH says that his client has received a very unfair treatment from the authorities and that he will surely demand compensation from the state. http://www.dagensjuridik.se/2010/09/hurtig-assange-kommer-vilja-krava-kompensation-av-staten

Got to have a little fun, too: Have you noticed the fact that the Christian Wing of the Social Democratic Party has the word “Brotherhood” in its name? No sisters allowed?

Benim aklımın ermeye başladığı dönemlerde yoktu bloglar. O yüzden okulun kızları genelde sayfaları herkes tarafından didiklenmesin diye açık tarafına asma kilit monte edilmiş, günlük denilen ve genelde pembe, yaldızlı, çiçekli defterleri tutardı. Ara ara bu kilitlerin anneler tarafından gizlice veya açıkca çözülüp kızlarının günlüklerinin okunduğu olurdu. İnsanın yaşı ne olursa olsun ailesi tarafından böyle adice bir biçimde özelinin didiklenmesi hoş değil. İleride aralarında bir güvensizlik problemi oluşacağını görmek için pedagog olmaya gerek yok.

Aynı şekilde sevgililer, karı-kocalar arasında da var bu özel hayatın tecavüze uğraması olayı. Biraz ukalaca olacak ama, kadınlara ve erkeklere tavsiyem cep telefonunuzu, maillerinizi, internette ziyaret ettiğiniz sayfaları arkanızdan karıştıran bir kişi varsa hiç tereddüt etmeden kıçına tekmeyi koymanız. Aksi halde bir cehennem azabı sizi bekliyor.

Mektubun özelliği, gizliliği prensibi ne kadar eskiye dayanıyor bilmiyorum. Eğer bugün aranızda hala mektup alan varsa, (ki 40 yaşın altındaki insanların bunu yaptığını düşünmüyorum), mektubunuz elinize geldiği zaman açılmış ve okunmuş olduğunu görmek istemezsiniz herhalde. Bunu kimsenin yapmaya hakkı yok ve zannedersem bir ülkenin posta idaresinde bu sistematik bir şekilde yapılsa herhalde olayı skandal diye nitelemek, o işin başındakilerinin istifasını istemek normal olurdu.

Her ne kadar Türkiye’deki telefon dinlemeleri ve halkın bunu artık kanıksamış duruşu bana bu yazıyı yanlış dilde, yanlış kitleye yazıyormuşum hissini zaman zaman verse de, gerçekleri yalın ve çıplak haliyle kağıt üzerine koyunca sizin de hak vereceğinizi umuyorum.

Sırf Türkiye değil, dünya Netdaşlarının Çin’den Falkland Adalarına kadar uzanan geniş ülkesinde birer birer tersanelerine giriliyor artık. Antidemokratik ülkelerin vatandaşlarının özel haberleşme hakkına saygı duymaması zaten beni şaşırtan bir durum değil. Asıl batı dünyasının demokrasi havarilerinin bu işe Stalin’i, STASI veya KGB yi kıskandıracak icatlarla, uygulamalarla yapması şaşırtıcı.

Bu blogu isveç’in başkenti Stockholm’den yazıyorum. Teknik olarak yazdığım bu satırlar ilkönce Stockholm’deki evimden Kanada’daki web sunucuma, oradan da Türkiye’de yaşayan sizlere ulaşıyor. Dolayısıyla İsveç ülke sınırlarını terkeden 1 ve 0 lardan oluşan bir grup enformasyon paketinin sahibiyim. 1 Aralık’tan itibaren İsveç’de FRA adı verilen yeni kanuna göre bu paketim Savunma Bakanlığı bünyesinde çalıştırılan muazzam kapasiteye sahip bir bilgisayar tarafından gözlem altına alınmış durumda. İçeriği süzen, gruplandıran, dosyalayan, gerektiği zaman aleyhime kullanacak süper bir bilgisayar. Gerekçe bu sefer ülke güvenliği, terörle mücadele (ABD nin estirdiği devlet terörünün cemeresini biz çekiyoruz). Zaten o değilse pedofili olurdu. Kartotekten çekince bu gelmiş olsa gerek. Glory Hallelujah !!! In the name of Allah, I die and I live….

<till FRA>Ta’t lugnt grabbar… Det är en ateistjävel som skriver den här bloggen. Tänkte bara testa FRA lagen lite… Hej och puss !!!</till FRA>

Bir sonraki blog yazısında bu tarz ”gözetlemelerden, kontrollerden haberleşmemizi, internetimizi nasıl gizli tutarız”ı ele alacağım.
