Dålig dom för svensken Ola Bini, som är en vän till Julian Assange!

SvT rapporterar idag att Svenske Ola Bini döms till fängelse i Ecuador. Den svenske programmeraren Ola Bini döms till ett års fängelse i Ecuador. Han beskriver domen som korrupt. – Det här är en orättvisa på en sådan nivå att det inte går att beskriva, säger han till TT. Ola Bini friades för mer än ett år sedan, men domen överklagades. Domstolen i Ecuador har nu rivit upp det tidigare beslutet och dömer honom till ett års fängelse. – Vi hade väntat oss ett korrupt beslut och det var vad vi fick, säger han till TT efter domen. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/svenske-ola-bini-doms-till-fangelse-i-ecuador

SvT rapporterade för ett år sedan ”Den svenska programmeraren Ola Bini har friats från sina anklagelser om dataintrång i Ecuador. Efter nio dagars förhandlingar kom rätten med sitt beslut efter bara en timma. – Jag är naturligtvis överlycklig. Det var väldigt oväntat. Det är en jättestor seger, säger Ola Bini.

Allt är dock inte över för svensken ännu. Efter att rätten lämnar sitt skriftliga beslut har åklagaren och de andra parterna i fallet möjlighet att överklaga under tre dagar. – Jag kommer spendera så mycket tid jag kan med min familj. Vi kommer antagligen jobba hårt med att få ut meddelandet av vad som hänt här. Om de försöker att attackera mig igen är vi väl förberedda för det, säger Ola Bini.

Fallet mot Bini har av många beskrivits som politiskt motiverat och hans bekantskap med Julian Assange har använts mot honom i fallet.
– Jag har dedikerat mitt liv åt att försvara personers säkerhet speciellt från perspektivet av digitala rättigheter. Att bli anklagad för precis motsatsen är ungefär så långt ifrån mitt perspektiv på världen man kan komma.” https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/ola-bini-friad

”Frikännandet kan återspegla ett ökat stöd för kravet att Julian Assange ska frikännas” skrev jag för ett år sedan. Assange försmäktar i isoleringscell i det hårda fängelset Belmarsh utanför London. Omkring 20/2 avgörs om han ska utlämnas till USA till en rättegång med många åtalspunkter, och hot om 175 års fängelse.
Stora mainstream-media menar äntligen att USA ska slopa anklagelserna mot Julian Assange!

Ökande antal journalister och media stödjer Julian Assange.

I kvälls-serien ”Aktuella artiklar för ett eller flera år sedan” återpubliceras denna artikel som är aktuell i högsta grad.

Annat var det för två år sedan!

Läsaren, kommentatorn och översättaren Rolf Nilsson skickade förmiddagen 22/1 2022 detta mail till Sveriges Radios VD Hanna Stjärne:

Radionyheterna rapporterar idag om rättegången mot svensken Ola Bini.
Med tanke på er intensiva bevakning av Gui Minhai under fjolåret är det närmast en skandal att ni inte alls verkar bry er om Ola Binis öde. Gui var kinesisk medborgare och dömdes i Kina för brott begångna där, medan Ola Bini är enbart svensk medborgare och nu suttit fängslad utan rättegång under mycket lång tid. Har det att göra med kopplingen till Assange, vars öde ni också konsekvent tiger om?

Tacknämligt att åtminstone TextTV uppmärksammar vad som händer.

Redan i augusti 2019, publicerade jag artikeln ”Ola Bini – Det senaste offret i korsfästningen av Julian Assange hotas av hård dom”

Jag skrev där ”DN skrev senast 2/8 2019 ”Åklagaren i Ecuador har fått förlängd tid en månad i utredningen mot svensken Ola Bini. Det betyder att han fortfarande är fast i Ecuador utan att veta vad han är misstänkt för.

Om 30 dagar väntas nytt besked om det blir åtal eller om förundersökningen läggs ner.

Ola Bini greps i Ecuador 11 april i år, samma dag som Wikileaksgrundaren Julian Assange greps på Ecuadors ambassad i London. Bini och Assange är vänner och svensken har tidigare sagt att han inte tror att det var en slump att de greps samma dag.
Åklagaren har sagt att Bini ska ha ”förstört integriteten av datasystem” utan att gå in närmare på vilket system det ska ha varit.” DN Utredning mot Ola Bini fortsätter – nytt besked om 30 dagar

En läsare har vänligen översatt två aktuell artikar ”Det sista offret i korsfästelsen av Julian Assange” om detta. The Latest Victim in the Crucifixion of Julian Assange och Telesur: Ecuador Gov’t Changes Criminal Charges Against Ola Bini to Prolong Case”

Hur har det då gått för Ola Bini? Han rapporterade via 26 konsekutiva inlägg på Twitter om detta kvällen 25 oktober 2020.

Jag redovisar dessa nedtill! Hoppas på viss förståelse för att jag inte översatt till engelska!

De tre första är kopiering av Ola Binis Twitter, de följande 13 är kopior av texten och de sista är åter kopior av hans Twitter.

Ja makten gör vad den kan föt att minska yttrandefrihetens namn, av respekt för USA:s syn på demokrati och världen – USA-imperialismen.

Återpublicerar ännu aktuell artikel, från nov. 2020.

It’s been almost 1.5 years since I was first arrested, and it’s been a while since I gave an update about my legal situation here in Ecuador, so I thought I’d summarize what has happened up until now, and what the current status is. 1/

During this detention I was held without access to my lawyer for 8 hours, and then arrested. During all this time I was held in areas that are not sanctioned or legal for detention. 3/

On the evening of the 12th, a hearing was held where it was decided I was going to be put into preventative imprisonment. The primary evidence for this was the books found in my apartment, and the amount of technology I possessed. 6/

The day after, Saturday 13:th, I was sent to the El Inca detention center. I stayed in this prison for 68 days. From the time of my detention until I was released, no prosecutor or agent ever asked me any questions. 8/

Nivå 9:
But during all this time, the Interior Minister and the president repeatedly went public in media talking about me, claiming I had been hacking from the airport, and many other ridiculous stories. At no point was any evidence presented. 9/

Nivå 10:
And of course, none of these charges were ever put into the legal process. I was repeatedly accused, without evidence or any kind of fact of having done bad things, without any chance of defending myself. 10/

Nivå 11:
The president of Ecuador even went on TV and claimed that I had no training equipment with me, even though I was supposed to go to a training camp. However, the arrest papers clearly document all training equipment I had when arrested. 11/

Nivå 12:
During this time in prison, I was being charged with ”attacking the integrity of computer systems”. But during this whole time, the prosecution never specified what I was supposed to have done, and to what computer systems. 12/

Nivå 13:
In fact, the prosecution spent more time in hearings talking about my friendship with Julian Assange, than actually talking about what crime I was supposed to have committed. No evidence has ever been produced of this charge. 13/

Nivå 14:
Romo, in a witness statement from June 2019, actually said that I was arrested because they were worried I _would_ do something criminal, not because of something I had done. The president claimed he didn’t know anything about my case. 14/

We filed an appeal against my preventative imprisonment, which was heard by a tribunal of judges on May 1st. This appeal was denied. The language in the resolution contained information that the prosecution had never mentioned… 15/

A few weeks later we applied for bail. In Ecuador, bail can _only_ be denied in 4 very specific cases – relating to if the crime has a sentence longer than 5 years, relates to violence against children or women, and so on. 16/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

My case didn’t fit any of the 4 criteria, so I should have been able to get bail. The judge denied the bail request, because she said she couldn’t calculate the bail amount – because the prosecution hadn’t said who the victims were!!! 17/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

Finally, on June 20th, I was released from prison after a successful Habeas Corpus request. The tribunal confirmed that my arrest and imprisonment had been illegal and violated my rights in numerous ways. 18/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

But this didn’t stop the case. The Habeas Corpus tribunal imposed measures on me, that I have to keep fulfilling until the legal process is over. This includes not being able to leave the country, and that I have to present myself physically. 19/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

The presentation means I have to go the prosecutors office every Friday and sign a paper. All my bank accounts and assets are also frozen. This has been going on for 18 months now, with no end in sight. 20/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

By the end of July, the ”instruction fiscal” – the investigate period during which time evidence can be added to the process – should have been over. In Ecuador, this has a time limit of 90 days. 21/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

However, a day before the 90 days were over, the prosecution added a new person as a defendent to the process. They claimed – once again with no evidence – that a friend of mine had been involved in my actions – which still had not been specified in any way. 22/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

The real reason for doing this is that when a person is added to a process, they can extend the process time from 90 to 120 days. The judge accepted this, and the investigation period continued. 23/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

On the 29th of August, two days before the investigation period was over, the prosecution decided to change the charges against me. This time they are claiming I accessed a computer system without permission. 24/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

The computer system in question belongs to CNT, one of the mobile phone providers in Ecuador. The prosecution has a photo they claim come from my mobile phone. This photo shows quite clearly someone _not_ actually trying to gain access to a system. 25/

— Ola Bini (@olabini) October 25, 2020

Specifically, the photo shows text of something that looks to be a telnet connection done over Tor, but where the connection is interrupted when the system asks for a password. The prosecution claims this is evidence of breaking into a system. 26/
