Hi,

Dear Erik,

Thank you for your further email.  I
am very sorry that you feel that Amnesty has misadvised you.  My colleagues
have tried to help you as much as they can.  Having advised you that
it is not something that Amnesty can help with my colleague has tried to
be helpful when advising you to contact Sivilombudsmannen.  He does
not say that they will definitely be able to help, he says that they may
be able to help.  He was not tricking you but trying to be helpful.

Your comments have been recorded.

Kind regards,

Re: Regardinghelp from Amnesty

Hi,

then I wanted to complain about Amnesty UK.

First you, (a person named John Hook at your UK-department), advice me
to contact the Sivilombudsmannen.

And after this is unsuccessful.

Then you say that your knowledge is limited to UK-stuff.

Why did you advice me to contact the Sivilombudsmannen,
(in Norway), in the first place then?

It’s like you have tricked me, I think.

This I wanted to complain about.

Please escalate to your complaint-manager.

Dear Erik Ribsskog,

Thank you for your e-mail.



We are  very sorry that the Sivilombudsmannen weren’t able to help
you.


Please note that while we try our best to direct individual queries to
other organisations who might be able to help, we are unable to guarantee
that they will be able to provide the relevant assistance.

Moreover, it should be noted that Amnesty International UK is based in
the UK, our  knowledge is limited to groups in this country. As noted
in previous correspondence from my colleagues,

it would be best to conduct your queries in Norway to find the appropriate
organisations.


Kind regards,

Hi,

you at Amnesty have adviced me to contact the Sivilombudsmannen.

But the Sivilombudsmannen isn’t doing his job.

E.g. the Norwegian Embassy in London, have stopped replying to me, and
the Sivilombudsmannen said I had to be content, since the Foreign Ministry
in Oslo, replied to me.

Also, the Sivilombudsmannen ignores that ministers like Kristin Halvorsen
in Norway, and her ministry ‘Kunnskapsdepartementet’, (Ministry of Knowledge),
ignores my correspondence, and doesn’t reply to me.

Also other ministries are involved.

The Sivilombudsmannen is useless, he doesn’t do his job at all.

You at Amnesty have adviced me to contact him.

I want to complain about this poor advice.

How can you advice people to contact useless organisations like Sivilombudsmannen?

Dear Erik


Thank you for your further email. I am sorry that Amnesty International
UK is unable to advise on your situation, although I have come up with
the following link to the website of the Norwegian Ombudsman, who may be
able to help.

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,
 
Erik Ribsskog

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:
