Hi,
 
 I noticed, that Mr. John Hook, wasn't working at Amnesty any longer, so I was wondering, if you could please let someone else, at your office, have a look at this e-mail, about the  
 problems with the Sivilombudsmannen, in Oslo, that Amnesty adviced me to contact, regarding that I'm not given my constitutional rights, from the Norwegian Government.  Yours sincerely,  
  Erik Ribsskog

Date: Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 1:49 PM Subject: Re: Fw: Regarding help from Amnesty To:  John.Hook@amnesty.org.ukHi,  I've written to you, about this earlier.  
 But this is now one or two years ago, so I thought I could try again.
  The Sivilombudsmannen, that you adviced me to contact, are just messing with me.  
 Eg. the Norwegian Embassy in London, aren't answering my correspondence.
  Even so, the Sivilombudsmannen, don't demand that they have to answer my correspondence,
 so if I want to deal with embassy-enquieries, then I don't know who I can contact, since  
the Norwegian Embassy, don't answer me, and the Sivilombudsmannen don't care, even if it is their job, to look after the buraucracy. 
 
 So I was wondering who I should contact about the Sivilombudsmannen, because they don't  
really have any autorothy, above them. 
 
 Yours sincerely,  Erik Ribsskog

  Hi, 
    
  thank you very much for your answer! 
    
  Are you sure that don't getting help when one are in the
 risk of being executed/sacrificed/tortured, isn't 
  under the cathegory 'cruel, inhuman
 or degrading treatment', like you are mentioning in your e-mail? 
    
  I also suspect that this case falls under this point:
 'ending extra-judicial executions and "disappearances"'. 
    
  At least this is how it seems to me, even if these things
 can be difficult to document sometimes I  
  guess, at least before it has happened. 
  
    
  But not getting help from the government is a specific
 human rights violation. 
    
  Your Norwegian section, answered me that they can't investigate
 crime-cases, which was not what I  
  asked them for advice on at all. 
 
   
 So I don't understand how they could be right, since they didn't even understand
 the problem. 
    
  The problem was lack of help from the Government, and
 also harassment, probably 'set ups' from the  
  Government, and that they speculate, in not answering
 e-mails etc.  
 
   
 And it seem like someone have instructed my bank, not to give me a loan
 or an overdraft as well. 
    
  And the Government isn't informing me on what's goving
 on, even it's clear to me that I'm followed 
  by mafia, like I've heard it being said. 
    
  And also, even if the company I used to work in is/was
 full of criminals, I guess mafia/mob, and  
  the Police are only pretending that nothing is going on,
 and are keeping me in the dark about all 
  this. 
    
  So without me being an expert on human rights, I can't
 see it differently, than that the Government 
  must be breaching my human rights, and I haven't managed
 to get any help regarding this. 
    
  But since you are working with human rights issues, then
 maybe you know a bit about how to  
  deal with problems like this, so maybe you could give
 me some advice regarding who I should 
  contact, or how should go forward with cases like this? 
    
  I understand that you aren't working on cases were human
 rights are being breached by Governments(?) 
    
  And I know that I've already written an e-mail to you
 regarding this. 
 
   
 But I thought I'd try just once more, to hear if you knew about any organisations
 who deals with problems 
  involiving human rights being breached by Governments,
 in the way I've explained in this e-mail. 
    
  Thanks in advance for any help! 
    
  Yours sincerely,

 Dear Erik,   
   
 Thank you for your email.   
   
 However, I'm afraid that the Norwegian Section is correct as the issue
 you raise does not fall within our mandate.   
 Amnesty International works on specific human rights violations, and our
 mission focuses in particular on:  
  
 - campaigning to abolish the death penalty,
 torture, and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; 
  
  - ending extra-judicial executions and
 "disappearances";  
  - protecting the human rights of refugees
 and asylum seekers;  
  - protecting the human rights of non-combatants
 in armed conflicts;  
  - working for fair and prompt trials for
 all political prisoners;  
  - seeking the release of all prisoners
 of conscience.     
   
   
 Of course there are many other issues of concern around the world, but
 Amnesty does not have the resources to work on every issue. 
   
 The issues we work on are decided by our membership through our internal
 democratic decision-making processes.   
   
 I hope that you may be able to find some assistance from another organisation.

 Hi,   
    
 I'm a Norwegian living in Britain, and I've been in contact with the Norwegian
 department of Amnesty,   
 regarding lack of respect from the Government in connection with human
 rights issues.   
    
 What I've contacted them about, was that the Norwegian Government, (Politidirektoratet/justisdepartementet),
   
 isn't answering my e-mails.   
    
 And also the 'Spesialenheten' (the Norwegian equivalent of ipcc), have
 been using more than six months,   
 and have still not decided if they are going to investigate my complaint
 against representatives from   
 the Norwegian special police 'Kripos', or not.   
   
 So it's obvious that they are delaying this.   
    
 This might not seem so important, but the point is, that this is in regards
 to me being followed by organised   
 criminals or mafia, in both Norway and Britain.   
    
 And the point is, that this can lead to people being killed/executed/tortured.
   
   
 And also, if the police is aware of this, like the Norwegian police are,
 since I've told them, and still don't help,   
 maybe they have problems getting evidence against the criminals/mafia,
 and then hope that they will kill,   
 so that they will get evidence in that way. (I would call it people sacrifice).
   
    
 This is how it seems to me that it must have been, or still is, for all
 that I know.   
    
 And I contacted the Norwegian department of Amnesty, earlier this week,
 but they only said that Amnesty   
 wasn't dealing with investigating crime.   
   
 But that's not at all what I contacted them about, I contaced them about
 the problem that the Government   
 are ignoring peoples rights, with the consequense that people can end up
 murdered/tortured etc.   
    
 So I think, since they are working with human-rights issues, on a daily
 basis, then I can't really understand,   
 how it could be possible for them to not understand what I was contacting
 them about.   
   
 So I'm a bit worried that something might be wrong in the Norwegian Amnesty
 department.   
   
 And this case is also linked to Britain, so I was wondering if it's right
 that Amensty aren't dealing with   
 serious breaches of human rights from Governments.   
    
 And also how I should go forward if I wanted to complain about the Norwegian
 of Amnesty, since it seems to   
 me that something must be wrong there.   
    
 And I think that this would be serious, since I've always thought that
 Amnesty is an important organisation,   
 and that you are doing valuable work around the world.   
    
 I'm also going to forward you copies of the correspondence I've been having
 with the Norwegian deparment   
 of Amnesty regarding this.   
    
 I know that they are in Norwegian, but I'm sending them anyway, just for
 formalitys sake.   
    
 I hope that this is alright, and I hope that you have the chance to have
 a look at this!   
    
 Thank you very much for your help in advance!   
    
 Yours sincerely,
