Hi,
ok, but then I don’t think you should advice people to contact the Sivilombudsmannen, in the future.
Because they don’t do their job, it seems to me.
They almost never reply, and I’m not being taken seriously, it seems to me.
But thanks for e-mail anyway!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
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.

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?

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:
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.

Regarding help from Amnesty |

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,
Erik Ribsskog
