public prosecution had been committed by a representative of the Swedish police in connection with the enforcement. The district prosecutor referred the case to the Prosecutor-Director at the Public Prosecution Authority in Stockholm who similarly found that there was no reason to assume that a criminal offence under public prosecution had been committed by the pilot of the foreign aircraft. Furthermore, the Prosecutor-General decided on 4 April 2005 not to resume the preliminary investigation, following a complaint from the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights. The conclusion was reached that it was not possible to review the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s decision to refrain from using his powers to prosecute. It could also be seriously questioned whether the Prosecutor-General could make a new assessment of the issue of whether to start or resume a preliminary, criminal investigation when the matter had already been determined by the Parliamentary Ombudsman. Continued monitoring by the Swedish Embassy in Cairo Since the Government last informed the Committee on the visits conducted by the Swedish Embassy in Cairo in order to monitor the complainant’s situation (observations of 11 March 2005), there have been three further visits during which the complainant mentioned inter alia that the treatment in prison continued to be good and that there had been no changes in that regard. The Embassy’s staff has now visited the complainant on 32 occasions in the prison where he is detained. The intention is for the visits to continue regularly.
