Convicted serial killer Peter Mangs demanded a retrial on Thursday, accusing one of the lay judges who presided over his trial of having a conflict of interest in the case.Malm sniper Peter Mangs ‘not mentally ill’ (26 Sep 12)

At the request of his client, Mangs’s lawyer filed a petition on Thursday claiming that the lay judge was biased for participating police board meetings during the investigation.We consider it to be a conflict of interest and the client wants us to do it, Mangss lawyer Jesper Montan said in his request, according to the Sydsvenskan newspaper.Montan and Mangss other lawyer Douglas Norking wrote in the filing that the lay judge in question undermined his impartiality and independence by attending the meetings.Now there has been a formal objection on the grounds of bias and this shall be communicated to the opposition, said Eva Wendel Rosberg, head of the Malm District Court.The defence laywers accused the lay judge of participating in meetings with police on three occasions during the autumn of 2010, thereby gaining access to information that made it questionable whether he could make an unbiased review of the police investigation.The lay judge will meet with Malm District Court head judge Lennart Strins in an attempt to better assess the question of bias.Mangs was arrested in November 2010 after a string of shootings that took place in Malm against people of immigrant origin.He was charged with killing two men of immigrant origin, aged 23 and 66, in 2003 and a 20-year-old Swedish woman who had been sitting in a car with an immigrant man in 2009.He was also charged with 12 attempted murders in which he fired numerous shots with his Glock 19 pistol at homes, businesses and cars as well as out in the open, seriously injuring a number of people and coming close to killing many others.In July, after a highly publicized trial and a lengthy criminal investigation, the court ruled that he was guilty of 13 of the charges, among these two murders, four attempted murders and three cases of making illegal threats.TT/The Local/ogFollow The Local on Twitter … Read More

Facebook bounce brings more firms to Luleå

A year after Facebook announced it would open a data centre in Lule, three more multinational companies are set to follow suit, opening branches in the northern Swedish town.After Facebook, Lule sets sights on digital age (28 Nov 11)

The new entrants include two hardware companies and one software firm, and an extensive recruitment process is already underway.Fredrik Kalloniemi, operations manager at Aurorum Science Park in Lule, explained that the hiring team is hoping to hire as many local Lule residents as possible.Its a lot easier then having to relocate people, he told The Local.These are people that know the region and the business, which makes recruitment a lot quicker. I think any company likes that.Though Facebook has been a major factor in putting Lule on the map as an emerging tech hub, Kalloniemi maintains the new data centre is not the only reason companies are interested in establishing operations near the Arctic Circle.In recent years, there has been a 20 billion kronor ($3 billion) investment in the industry in Sweden, he said. A large percentage of that has been invested in IT infrastructure, which has made Sweden an attractive location.Facebook served as a trigger, but there are more data centres in this region and these multinational companies see a possibility to expand, to start partnerships with local companies,” Kalloniemi added.The Aurorum Science Park is also talking to a whole list of other companies, suggesting that the three new firms, the names of which have yet to be made public, are only the beginning.The plan is that the data centre will eventually consist of three buildings with enough space to include additional companies. The first building is currently under construction and is already making an impression.The data centre is going to be huge, I mean itll be crazy big, Kalloniemi told The Local.Sanne Schim van der LoeffFollow The Local on Twitter … Read More

‘It was an easy decision’: Swedish Academy

October 11, 2012 1:54 pm | Leave a Comment | Anon

The Locals Rebecca Martin catches up with Peter Englund, the Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy (Svenska Akademien), to find out more about why one should read the work of 2012s Nobel Prize winner in literature, Mo Yan. Chinese author Mo Yan awarded Nobel lit prize (11 Oct 12)
Seven hot names in the Nobel Literature race (10 Oct 12)

One of the things that is special with this years winner is that he depicts from within – a world that most of us dont have access to. He is originally a peasant boy, born into a farming family and he worked in the fields until he was twelve years old, Englund told The Local. According to Englund there were no harsh deliberations when the committee took the decision, almost a week ago: I would say that it was an easy decision, although these things are always somewhat complicated. Thats how it always is, though. You have five authors, often writing in different genres and styles. So I would say that its complicated but not difficult.”The work of 57-year-old Yan, who became the first Chinese national to ever win the prize, explores the brutality and darkness of 20th-century Chinese society with a cynical wit.He is perhaps best-known abroad for his 1987 novella “Red Sorghum”, a tale of the brutal violence that plagued the eastern China countryside – where he grew up – during the 1920s and 30s.The story was later made into an acclaimed film by leading Chinese director Zhang Yimou.Meanwhile, Englund explained that the translations of Yans work into Swedish does his words justice. We are lucky to have a Chinese speaker on the panel and he has assured us that the translations are very good, Englund said. However, with the decision being reached a week ago – it hasnt been easy to keep it a secret with the wild speculations and the betting that goes on online and in the media. It is something we need to think about and in later years we have had to become even stricter when it comes to secrecy, Englund said.To readers as of yet unfamiliar with Yans work, Englund recommends starting with “The Garlic Ballads”, first published in 1993: You should read Mo Yan when you are ready to face a whole new world, inhabited by new people and showing new ways of looking at the world,” Englund told The Local.But above all you should read him because he is a damned good author!”Rebecca Martin/AFPFollow Rebecca on Twitter here. … Read More

Nobel’s will ‘blatantly disrespected’ in Norway

October 11, 2012 1:50 pm | Leave a Comment | Anon

On the eve of the announcement of the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, The Local catches up with Norwegian lawyer and Nobel historian Fredrik S. Heffermehl, who claims the Norwegian Nobel Committee isn’t following Alfred Nobel’s wishes.’It was an easy decision’: Swedish Academy (11 Oct 12)
Chinese author Mo Yan awarded Nobel lit prize (11 Oct 12)
Live Blog: 2012 Nobel Prize announcements (11 Oct 12)

For years, Heffermehl has been writing books and penning opinion pieces in the Norwegian media arguing that the country’s Nobel Committee, in charge of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize each year, is failing to follow the last will and testament of the Swedish industrialist whose fortune served as the basis for the prize.Nobel’s will states that the prize should be given to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.But in awarding the prize to politicians such as Barack Obama, Henry Kissinger or even Al Gore, whose work is with the environment and not peace and disarmament, the committee has failed to adhere to the will of the deceased benefactor, Heffermehl argues.In the run up to this years peace prize announcement, set to take place on Friday in Oslo, The Local checked in with Heffermehl to hear his thoughts on the problem. The Local: What is wrong with the current selection process of the Nobel Peace Prize? Fredrik Heffermehl: In the beginning, the Norwegian politicians, whose job it is to select the Nobel Committee, were eager to find the right peace-minded individuals working for a global peace order, which is what Nobel wanted to support. But sometime after 1948, in the wake of the Second World War, this eagerness dissipated. Today, the Committee is very different and I would say consists of Norwegian politicians who accept a world system of competing military forces, the direct opposite of the core purpose of Nobels Peace Prize: to support a new system and efforts for global cooperation on demilitarization of international affairs the global peace order that Nobel described in his will.I have been saying for more than five years in books and articles that Nobels will and purpose must be respected. But the Nobel Committee does not want to enter into this discussion. TL: Why is that, do you think? FH: The military sector in Norway was and is a strong sector and the reality today is that a majority politicians favouring a strong military defence are in control of a prize, which was initially meant for their opponents. TL: What happens now? FH: Well, they cant ignore Nobel forever. In fact it has been the shock of my life to see such blatant disrespect of someones last will and testament. I have had support from some very high-ranking people in Norway, but this is in private; no one dares to come out and say it in public. It says something about the political climate that no one wants to stick their neck out. TL: What has the Swedish County Administrative Board (Lnsstyrelsen) tasked with ensuring that foundations created by wills such as Nobel’s follow their statutes done? FH: They were also reluctant to stick their neck out. It took four years to get them to act. I knew that they would have to agree with my point. It is elementary really. The whole purpose of a testament is that the testators will has to be followed and cannot be changed after his death. The authority would have to confirm my view. I put pressure on them but they tried to evade the question for years. It even had to be taken to the administrative court, but I am very happy with the outcome. A decision was passed that confirmed entirely that the prizes must comply with the purpose described by the testator. But the authority was very diplomatic, its decision did not criticize anything that has happened in the past, it only gave directions for the future. TL: What needs to be done about it, in your opinion? FH: There really has never been a proper discussion. They are reluctant to answer these questions because if they enter into the discussion they will be forced to select member for the committee who are actually in favour of a global peace order as Nobel was. After the Swedish decision the Norwegian politicians must reconsider the situation and determine what the purpose of the prize really is and whether they are qualified and willing to continue selecting the five-member Nobel Committees. They must ask themselves the following questions: “Should we, can we still have this role?”; “How have the committees fulfilled the mandate in the past?”; and “Is it possible for Norway’s Parliament to be loyal to Nobel and can official Norway continue to select the trustees of a private Swedish foundation in the future to implement a peace vision that Parliament is directly opposed to?” TL: So, who do you think will win this years Nobel Peace Prize? FH: To be honest, I feel less interested every year the prizes have less and less to do with Nobel. The politicians are using Nobels name to promote their own ideas, they do not understand that Nobel saw the costly and dangerous threat to human survival that would develop if the world failed to curb militarism. His desire for a global peace order is a much more urgent, mandatory need today than when he wrote his will.Rebecca MartinFollow Rebecca on Twitter … Read More

Living woman reported dead in central Sweden

October 11, 2012 12:19 pm | Leave a Comment | Anon

A family in southern Sweden was deeply concerned after receiving letters from local authorities about their elderly mother, who had mistakenly been reported dead.’My family thinks I’m crazy’: Swedish My Little Pony fan (7 Oct 12)
Factory worker sacked for rolling up his pants (2 Oct 12)
Police find airport ‘bomb’ to be board game (1 Oct 12)

The woman was reported dead by authorities in the town of Bors, who later admitted to the mix-up with the elderly womans details.But this wasnt admitted until after the family received letters explaining that the womans house had to be cleared out within two weeks, and another provided information about changes at the elderly home.This hit us hard. We have been deeply concerned about it. Many thoughts going through our heads, weve been lying awake at night thinking about it, said the womans son to the local Bors Tidning (BT) newspaper.Luckily, my sister takes care of mothers accounts, so the letter went to the billing address. The letter didn’t go to mother, which was a real stroke of luck. I dont dare to imagine the consequences had that happened.Administration manager Lars Nordin described the situation as horrible and unfortunate.We have to solve this so the woman can feel safe. There has been some mistake when the town reported the personal identity number (personnummer) and the apartment number to us. Were working on finding out why we were given the wrong information, he told the paper.Meanwhile, the womans son is putting the news behind him:What has happened has happened and you have to hope that procedures will be made that prevent a it from happening again, the womans son told the paper.TT/The Local/ogFollow The Local on Twitter … Read More

Chinese author Mo Yan awarded Nobel lit prize

October 11, 2012 11:03 am | Leave a Comment | Anon

The 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Chinese author Mo Yan, the Swedish Academy announced on Thursday.Seven hot names in the Nobel Literature race (10 Oct 12)
Two Americans share 2012 Nobel for chemistry (10 Oct 12)
Nobel Laureate visits inspire Rinkeby teenagers’ dreams (10 Oct 12)

Yan is an author who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary, the Academy’s Permanent Secretary Peter Englund said in a short announcement shortly after 1pm in Stockholm.”Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garca Mrquez,” the Swedish Academy said of Yan in its official biography.Among Yan’s works are “Falling Rain on a Spring Night”, “Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out”, and “Red Sorghum”.”I’m overjoyed, but I’m a little frightened also,” Yan said on the telephone, the Academy’s Gran Malmqvist told the Aftonbladet newspaper.This is the first time a Chinese national and the second time a Chinese-born writer has won the prize, after Gao Xingian, who received French citizenship in 1997, was honoured in 2000.Mo Yan, 57, is perhaps best-known abroad for his 1987 novella “Red Sorghum”, a tale of the brutal violence that plagued the eastern China countryside — where he grew up — during the 1920s and 30s.The story was later made into an acclaimed film by leading Chinese director Zhang Yimou, and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival in 1988.Following the announcement, the Nobel Foundation said the Swedish Academy recommend Yan’s novel “The Garlic Ballads”, published in English in 1995. Ahead of the announcement, Swedish betting company Unibet had Yan as one of the favourites to win the 2012 literature prize, with 6.5 to 1 odds.Born in 1955 in the Shandong province in northeastern China, Yan’s given name was Guan Moye. His pen name, Mo Yan, means “don’t speak” in Chinese.Yan has published novels, short stories and essays on various topics, and despite his social criticism is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the Nobel committee noted.In his writing Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth.Both Yan’s parents were farmers and he left school at the age of 12 during the Cultural Revolution to work in the fields and then at a factory.In 1976 he joined the People’s Liberation Army and shortly thereafter started studying literature and writing. His first short story was published in a literary journal in 1981, although his breakthrough came a few years later with the novella “Touming de hong luobo” (1986, published in French as “Le radis de cristal” in 1993).Mo Yan has authored other acclaimed works including “Big Breasts and Wide Hips”, “Republic of Wine” and “Life and Death are Wearing Me Out”.He has also written dozens of other novels, novellas, and short stories, generally eschewing contemporary issues and instead looking back at China’s tumultuous 20th century in tales often infused with politics and a dark, cynical sense of humour.The backdrops for his various works have included the 1911 revolution that toppled China’s last imperial dynasty, Japan’s brutal wartime invasion, newly Communist China’s failed land-reform policies of the 1950s and the madness of Mao Zedong’s 1966-76 Cultural Revolution.Last year, the literature prize went to Swedish poet Tomas Transtrmer in what is traditionally one of the most-watched announcements of the Nobel season, following the prizes for medicine, physics and chemistry earlier this week.The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday, with the field of possible winners wide open, followed by the Economics Prize on Monday, wrapping up the Nobel season.As tradition dictates, the laureates will receive their prizes at formal ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo on December 10th, the anniversary of the death of prize creator Alfred Nobel in 1896.Because of the economic crisis, the Nobel Foundation has slashed the prize sum to eight million Swedish kronor ($1.2 million) per award, down from the 10 million kronor awarded since 2001.AFP/The LocalFollow The Local on Twitter … Read More

TeliaSonera deal in Nepal raises new questions

October 11, 2012 9:43 am | Leave a Comment | Anon

Nordic telecom firm TeliaSonera has been hit with new revelations about suspicious business practices in Asia, this time stemming from a complex deal with a firm tied to the former ruling family in Nepal.TeliaSonera CEO ‘forced’ to leave post early: report (10 Oct 12)
TeliaSonera Uzbek deal prompts bribery probe (26 Sep 12)
TeliaSonera under fire over Uzbek bribe claims (20 Sep 12)

According to Swedish business magazine Veckans Affrer, the 4.2 billion kronor ($624 million) TeliaSonera paid in 2008 for its stake in Nepalese telecom operator Ncell ended up with a company controlled by to Raj Bahadur Singh, the son-in-law of the deposed king.The money was funneled through a number of shell companies in several countries, including Kazakhstan and Cyprus, the magazine reports.The magazine describes Bahadur Singh’s 2004 acquisition of Ncell as a “confiscation” whereby he took over the company from two other shareholders just prior to Ncell being awarded licences to operate mobile phone networks in the country.Authorities have recently launched a probe into TeliaSonera’s purchase of Ncell and its ties to the king’s son-in-law stemming from suspicions of bribery, corruption, and tax fraud, according to Vekans Affrer.However, TeliaSonera claimed the report contained “a number of errors and speculation”, claiming Ncell was bought through Visor, an established investment firm in Kazakhstan.”We were not able to review the material before it was published so we’re now reviewing the article,” company spokesperson Thomas Jnsson told the TT news agency.The revelations are the latest in a string of reports which have raised questions about deals struck abroad by TeliaSonera, in which the Swedish state has the largest ownership stake.Swedish prosecutors recently launched a corruption investigation into a deal forged between TeliaSonera and a company in Uzbekistan with links to the family of the former Soviet republic’s authoritarian president.Telecoms consultant Bengt Nordstrm explained that TeliaSonera has likely sought to do business with questionable regimes for from its home region because of the allure of higher profits.”In the west, mobile phone penetration is over 100 percent and there is a lot of competition,” he told the TT news agency.”That they instead look to emerging markets is a trend that’s been ongoing for the last ten years.”According to Nordstrm, most companies conclude that the upside of new profits outweigh the downsides of having ties to governments which have come under fire for corruption or rights abuses.He explained that the Swedish government has previously viewed the export of technology to non-democratic countries as a first step in democratic development.”The [Swedish] state, as an owner of Telia, acts and thinks today, and considering the media’s treatment of Telia, may decide that they can no longer be owners of operations east of Finland and south of the Alps,” said Nordstrm.TT/The Local/dlFollow The Local on Twitter … Read More
