 | Storebror har blivit busschaufför SvD Brännpunkt, 28 augusti 2006
Lokaltrafiken i stora delar av Sverige har börjat, eller börjar snart, att lagra personlig information om människors resor. Som vanligt har "ändamålsglidningen" snabbt satt in, och polisen har redan fått tillgång till uppgifterna. Lagringen innebär en allvarlig kränkning av människors personliga integritet, och måste stoppas.
Västtrafik, som sköter kollektivtrafiken i ett 50-tal västsvenska kommuner, och Skånetrafiken har börjat lagra detaljerad information om sina kunders resor. Det handlar om vilken linje som trafikeras, var en resa påbörjas, vilken dag och vilket klockslag det gäller. I vissa fall lagras även platsen för avstigning. Lagringen ska utökas nästa år. I Stockholmsregionen ska SL inleda lagring av resor under 2007, i samband med övergången till elektroniska biljetter på plastkort med RFID (mikroradiosändare). Informationen ska sparas i 12-18 månader.

 | Joint Statement on Renditions and Secret Detentions 12 July 2006
Twelve Steps to End Renditions and Secret Detentions in Europe:
Joint Statement by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Commission of Jurists and the Association for the Prevention of Torture
The Report of Senator Dick Marty to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, along with the investigations of the EU Parliament, non-governmental organisations and journalists has demonstrated compellingly that officials in certain European states have tolerated, and in some cases actively supported, the US-initiated system of renditions and secret detentions. As a result, people have been detained and transferred abroad, without due legal process, to places where they have been subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. Some have been handed over for interrogation to states that routinely use torture. Some have been held secretly, including in Europe, and Senator Marty’s report notes that “serious indications continue to exist and grow stronger” that the US has operated secret detention centres in Council of Europe member states. Many of these cases amount to enforced disappearance, a crime under international law.
People held within this system are left with no avenues for legal redress, and with no mechanism for assessing their guilt or innocence, contrary to the most basic principles of respect for the rule of law, human dignity and fairness. It is unacceptable and unlawful for European states to actively participate, or to acquiesce, in renditions or secret detentions. Where they do so, they breach their fundamental human rights obligations.
