Hi,

 

I would like to escalate a complaint please.


It's regarding that the Norwegian Amnesty, refuse to help, people like me, who aren't getting help

by the Government, after they have overheard that they are being followed by 'the mafia'.

 

Mr. Egenes, the General Secretary, at Amnesty in Norway, is using the excuse,

'that the mafia don't operate this way'.

 

How can Amnesty know how the mafia operate, and use this as an excuse not to help, with

the problem that the Government refuse to give help?

 

Are Amnesty a branch of 'the mafia', since Amnesty know how the mafia operate?

 

How can Amnesty know the mafia agenda?

 

I don't think Amnesty should refere to mafia agenda, if they document what this agenda is about,

unless you change your name to Mafia International, then I guess it would have been alright.


Is it possible to please get an explanation, about how Amnesty can know this in detail, about

how 'the mafia' operate?

 

Where have Amnesty found this knowledge?


Yours sincerely,


Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

 

if I felt it was impolite, to legitimise mafia?

 

I think your organisation is a joke!

 

Yours sincerely,


Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr. Ribsskog,

I am sorry to hear that you have not had a positive experience with Amnesty International in relation to your concerns.  


I need to affirm, however, that the response that was given to you  by the Director of AI Norway is correct, and that there is nothing that AI can do to support you in this instance.  I am sorry that you felt this was impolite.


Best wishes,

Marjory M. Byler
Senior Director, International Mobilization

Hi,
 
I called your offices today, and explained that I had been having some problems with the

Norwegian Amnesty, and if it was possible for me to send an e-mail to you explaining about
this, and then I was given your e-mail address.
 
The problems, are regarding that I was in contact with the General Secretary, for the Norwegian

Amnesty, Mr. Jegenes, earlier today.
 
It was a bit of problem with the communiction in this phone-call.
 
So I thought I'd try to write you an explanation, or complaint, about this.
 
I found that Mr. Jegenes, was a bit impolite, I think I have to say, since he interupted me, when

I started explaining why I had contacted him and Amnesty, and about the problems with the earlier
contact, which I had escalated to the General Secretary.
 
Then, after he had interupted me, and said quite a few things, then he didn't want to let me finish

my explanation, that I had prepared, before the call.
 
He just hang up.
 
I thought this was a bit inpolite.
 
Further, in the call, when he interupted me, he said that their representative, was right in declining

to help me, since Amnesty couldn't investigate organised crime, like he said.
 
But, I wanted them, to help me with the Government.

The Government, aren't answering my correspondence, and also the Sivilombudsman in Norway,

which Amnesty UK, adviced me to contact, is also, like the Goverment, playing games with me,
I think one have to say.

This is what I wanted Amnesty to help with, to get the Government to treat me, in accordance to

my rights, and not play games with me.

But the General Secretary, said that Amnesty would have had to investigate organised crime,
to help me.

This is not right, they could just have looked at the correspondance, between me and the

Government, and then they could have seen that the Government are playing games with me.
 
Since I think this is the real problem, that leads to what I'd say is torture and inhumane
treatment from the Government, that they are playing games with me, and my life, and that

they have no respect for my rights.
 
And this leads to the torture, like I think I have to call it, and inhumanity, in my situation.

I think I have to hold the Government in Norway, since I am a Norwegian citizen, responsible

for this, since they haven't got the right, to keep things in soceity, like how the situation is
with 'mafia', like I've heard I've been followed by, secret.
 
And they are also not answering my corresponedence etc, with I'd say means that they are

playing games with me.

Further, Mr. Jegenes, also said, when he interupted me, that 'mafia/organised criminals
wouldn't just single out and individual for following', when he asked me, why I was being

followed, and I answered that I couldn't say exactly why.
 
These things, like criminal organisations/mafias agenda, is not something that is open in
society, and for him, to demand, that I needed to know this, I think is unreasonable.

 
Mr. Jegenes, is infact, legitimising mafia, in society, by saying, that their agenda, is
logical and reasonable.

Mafia, is not a legitimate part of society, you can't find anything in eg. the Norwegian

constitution, that says that mafia, is legit.

I think it seems like Mr. Jegenes, is trying to legitimise mafia, and mafia/orginised criminal
organisations agenda in society, by claiming, that they are acting reasonable and logical.

 
I object strongly to this legitimisation of mafia/organised crime, by Mr. Jegenes.
 
Further, Mr. Jegenes, also said, that he thought, that the Norwegian Government, thought
that, what I had overheard, that I was followed by 'the mafia', and that I was being used as

a 'target-guy', by the Government, must have been something I had imagined.
 
So Mr. Jegenes, is saying what he thinks is more right, than what I think.
 
He isn't taking what I'm saing in good faith, and neighter is the Government.

 
There is no declared sivil war, in Norway, at the moment, so there is no reason, for why,
Mr. Jegenes (and the Norwegian Goverment), shouldn't take what is being said from a
fellow country-man, in good faith.

 
So this I would like to complain about, I think it's inpolite of Mr. Jegenes, to treat a fellow
country-man, in this way.
 
This is what I wanted to contact you and explain about.

I hope that you have the time to have a look at this!

 
I'll also add a link, to my blog, where I've written a short summary, of the phone-call with
the General Secretary today, and also posted the notes from the call, and the notes that
I had written, to prepare myself, before I called, but which the General Secretay, wouldn't

let me finish read/explain about.
 
(Although this blog-post is in Norwegian, but I add the link anyway, just for to explain that
I got a bit upset, and posted the notes etc. on my blog, at once after the call, since I though

I was being treated a bit inpolite.).
 
I hope this is alright!
 
Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog
