ZGRAM - WHERE TRUTH IS DESTINY: NOW MORE THAN EVER!
July 17, 2004
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
A little bit of good Revisionist news from Sweden! Incidentally, the
reporter who wrote this up is the one who interviewed me once when I
still lived in San Diego, and I can remember him as not all that
fluent in English. Keep that in mind. I don't have any other
reference for this piece except that he worked for the "largest
Swedish daily paper", the name of which I have forgotten.

Ahmed Rami acquitted
The investigation into Radio Islam has been withdrawn
By: Per Nygren
Stockholm: Ahmed Rami is let off prosecution for Radio Islam.
[http://www.abbc.net] The investigation into one of the world's most
known anti-Jewish homepages has been withdrawn.
The investigation started in September, 2002 when police confiscated
Ahmed Rami's four computers, at a search of a flat disposed by him.
The investigation of the contents of the computers resulted in
serving Rami with - disrespect for Jewish people and offence against
the law relating to personal data (Pul).
Several suspicions
According to polices suspicions, from February 2, 2000 until December
16, 2003, "together and in consultation with unidentified persons",
on the homepage, Rami had spread information expressing disrespect
for Jews. "Alone or with other" he also had handled personal data in
violation of Pul. It was above all about "a very extensive
registration of persons' religious conviction".
Up to December last year there was, among other things, a "reference
book" taking up names of four thousand people on Radio Islam's
homepage. According to advertisement for the reference book, it was
to show who really govern Sweden and answer questions such as "Does
Israel have a political Mafia network in Sweden that undemocratically
exercises political power and control freedom of speech?"
The answers to the question were already given in the address of the
reference book - "Jewish Power".
Community radio station
Ahmed Rami has earlier run the community radio station Radio Islam.
His books are to found on the homepage, as well as material from the
trial in 1989 when he was sentenced for disrespect for Jewish people.
There are also requests to support Ahmed Rami who is presented as a
protagonist of freedom of speech.
Rami, however, denies having anything to do with the homepage.
And police have not been able to prove the apposite.
"Ahmed Rami is the ideologist behind the texts but he, himself,
denies all involvement in his texts being spread in this way. What
role, if any, that he has in the making of or the work with the
homepage has not been possible to show. Nor has it been possible to
show who else are involved in this", Tora Holst, the prosecutor,
writes in her decision.
It is the second time Tora Holst withdraws a preliminary inquiry into
Radio Islam.
The first time was in 1998.
At first time an 18-year-old woman took the responsibility for laying
out most of the material on the homepage. Exactly the material police
considered punishable, she had no concern with, however.
Since some twenty persons had had access to the code that made it
possible to lay out texts on the homepage, police did not find anyone
who could be held responsible.
This time the police's IT-group found that a book had been laid in on
Radio Islam's homepage from one of the computers confiscated in
Rami's flat. One of Rami's friends, a well known history revisionist,
that is to say a person denying the Holocaust, wrote to Tora Holst
taking on the responsibility for Rami's computer being used at the
transmission. He clamed he had borrowed Rami's flat and computer.
As to the rest the police's technicians have not found anything in
the computers indicating that Ahmed Rami has used them to operate the
homepage or any correspondence with its readers.
