56 verdicts: 36 prison sentences, 10 were found

3. BEGGING FOR MONEY
****************************************************
*
Please, give us money!
We need money to buy things, or in other ways help
the prisoners through the time in prison. We also
need money to be able to prepare those who are going
to prison. Because there is so much people convicted
after the summit there are big expenses. All money
goes directly to the prisoners. All work is done
voluntarily.
Please help us!

4. MORE PROSECUTIONS?
*************************************************
71 people have been charged *in Sweden*.
The police investigation unit handling GBG (which
closed its activities in May) has earlier stated in
a national newspaper article in Dagens Nyheter (DN)
that 102 people have been/are under investigation.
Included in these 102 are the 71 charged in Sweden,
the 7 Germans being *investigated' (no charges have
been lodged as of yet). Then we have the names of 9
more persons that are investigated, but they have
yet to be prosecuted. That brings the known total to
87 out of a possible 102.
The police have on several occassions alluded to the
fact that other European and Scandinavian citizens
may be charged. So of the 15 "unaccounted" for
investigations, at least some of these may be
occuring in (besides Germany) Denmark, Norway,
Finland and Holland (according to the DN article).
I would venture to speculate that the remaining 15
are either individuals identified and photographed
at the Hvitfeldtska school or Järntorget and then
later found on video footage from the riots on the
Avenyn or ReclaimTheCity party at Vasaplatsen or
individuals implicated in the investigations
surrounding the so-called "information central"
where eight youths have been found guilty of
coordinating and inciting
riots by sending SMS messages to activists out on
the streets. (The "information central" case has
been appealed to the Swedish High Court which has
not yet decided if it will accept the appeal or
not.)
