January 28, 2015

Events inconsistent with Ida Johansson’s rights – recorded by Simal Saujani who recently visited Gäddede from Toronto, Canada.

These events have been described to me by Ida Johansson’s son, Calle Johansson. There is some form of documentation, whether personal notes, emails, etc. to confirm these details. These notes cover as much information as we could document since the time that the abuse began, as well as a few key events from my own observations from the week I recently spent in Gäddede in early January 2015.

There are six basic principles contributing to her extreme and horrible circumstance:

1. A) Loss of personal freedom (choice/movement) (article no. 1, 3, 9, 13)

2. B) Cruel treatment (article no. 5)

3. C) Loss of right to self determination (article no. 6, 7)

4. D) Unfair trial (article no. 8, 10)

5. E) Freedom of expression, opinion, association (article no. 19, 20)

6. F) Unprovided medical/social care (article no. 21.2, 22, 25)

Note:

LG = Levinsgården (nursing home where mom is forced to stay)

• Calle tells her about the Sept 8 meeting and threats.

• She’s accepts. She sends a request for a second opinion to Dr. Mats Ullén and Barbro though Calle had requested that she not do that.

• Calle asks her why it was necessary to contact Barbro. she says, that’s the way you do it by the law and this will guarantee that mom will get correct treatment. Calle explains he called her to protect her rights against the doc.

• Dr. Mats Ullén and Barbro find a doc they like and ask him for a second opinion, a retired doc in the village (a friend of theirs) Håkan Jonsson. For obvious reasons, this doctor says that everything is fine as is.

• Days/weeks later: Calle calls patient nämnden and explains the situation. They say now, since there’s a second opinion, they no longer have any authority to do anything. So in effect the lawyer destroyed any power the complaint board would have had. The lawyer allowed the doc to choose who they wanted for the second opinion.

• (documented and available upon request)

• By that time mom had extreme tooth ache, very painful and easy to see

• Mom was in great pain.

• She was refused dental care by dad and Barbro.

• They claimed she had dental care but it was clear she didn’t.

• By November, it’s so bad, the teeth were also loose, gums inflamed.

• Mom had difficulty eating (getting into December/Christmas)

• When mom ate she would scream when she was eating.

1. A, B (article 13, 5 – calle refused to see mom, mom left alone sick (on her back vomitting))

Date: Saturday Nov 3, 2012

• Mom is sick (stomach flu, throwing up).

• Calle is refused visiting rights. She’s locked in her room.

• She’s throwing up.

• Calle manages to get into her room.

• Calle gets in when they open the door.

• Not every time locked but closed.

• Calle gets in.. found mom had been throwing up.

• She’s alone, laying on her back. very dangerous, easy to choke and die on vomit.

1. A, B (article 13, 5 – calle refused right to see mom, mom left alone sick (on her back vomitting))

Date: Dec 2012 (specific date is availalbe if needed)

Date: Jan 17, 2013

• Again similar, mom is sick.

• Calle is refused entrance.

• Sign on door, “no one is allowed to visit because of flu“ but, of course, staff are free to come and go.

• They work hard to keep Calle out but he manages to get in.

• They’re really mad.

• She’s still put on her back in bed, even though she’s throwing up, alone in her room.

• Calle not allowed to sit with her.

• Calle finds her with vomit on her face and neck.

• They know she’s paralyzed and cannot turn her head. Vomit all over her face and chest.

• Calle cleans her up and stays with her and tells the it’s going to end right now.

• Nobody takes Calle seriously and make no changes.

1. D (article 7, 8, 10 – lawyer of Anders Andersson representing dad & överförmynderen)

F (21.2, medical docs show Dr. Mats Ullén making nuerological diagnosis)

Date: Feb 8, 2013

Place: In court in Östersund

Present: Judge, court people, lawyer of Anders Andersson, Calle and Calle’s lawyer, Michael Fischbein, överförmynderen (person who represents people who need support in a society, i.e. old, sick, anyone who needs help to defend their rights, name is: Angelica Texmo. dad on phone, possibly someone else on phone (brother)

• Before the court hearing starts, lawyer of commune manager, asks Calle out and says, “if you drop the case, we will honour you“.

• They made this hearing because Calle didn’t sign the paper allowing dad to be the godman.

• The godman is someone who has control and can speak for someone who no longer can for themselves

• Normally in Swedish practice this is not allowed to be an immediate family member; since they wanted an immediate family member in this case, every member of the family needs to sign that it’s okay. Calle had refused (obviously). So he had no case to drop. It was in fact them bringing the case forward. Calle is there for mom and not for honour.

In court:

1. Commun lawyer is representing överförmynderen (which makes no sense because they have conflicting interests).

2. Överförmynderen requests that dad should have all three levels of guardianship [i) property control rights, ii) protecting someone’s rights, iii) speak for that person (cares for that person) rights, i.e. speak for her, her wishes in any/all situations ]. Even though this seems to contradict her role as defender of mom’s rights.

3. Medical records that Calle is never allowed to see are presented. It is made clear that the doc at LG, Dr. Mats Ullén, diagnosed mom with irreversible brain damage that treatment cannot help. Dr. Mats Ullén, however, is only a GP, he’s not qualified to make this diagnosis. And this contradicts what he originally said on Sept 17 about mom getting the best rehab available in Sweden at LG. Furthermore, the second opinion, initiated by the lawyer Ulla Linden, revealed that the consulting doctor (i.e. friend of Dr. Mats Ullén and Barbro) confirmed this neurological diagnosis, even though he himself is also only a GP doctor and not qualified.

1. Informational

(- intimidation, lynch mob feeling for Calle)

Date: Thursday March 28, 2013

Place: LG

Present: big meeting, 30 people, everyone living at LG and all their families, LG staff, Barbro

Dad, mom, Calle

The following incident speaks to the desire of the LG group to break Calle’s spirit, through threats and humiliation.

• Calle received a phone call the morning of March 28th to inform him that LG is having a public meeting.  He received no explanation as to what it was about.

• When he arrives, he’s surprised by 30 people being present. It’s highly likely that the other people had prior notice of the meeting.

• All the residents and their families are present, many of whom live far away so they’ve obviously been given advanced notice.

• Barbro explains that LG has never received any complaints but outlines how one would register a complaint if they wanted to.

• Then she says, there is one complaint.  She reads this to room, then announces that everyone should take a break to consider it.

• When they reconvene, Calle’s father stands up and reads from a prepared statement that his son, Calle, is responsible for sending in the complaint.  The attitude of the room turns against Calle.

• Note: The complaint was actually made by Cecilia, not Calle. See: CECILIA ERICZON’S ATTEMPT TO SEEK JUSTICE THROUGH THE SWEDISH COURTS

• Calle was unable to defend himself;  all he could do was stand there, holding mom’s hand, taking the abuse.

• The meeting went on with attacks on Calle for some time.

• Only one person, Märit, resident of LG, VERY BRAVELY, stood up and said, “it’s actually not very good here“. She explains that the residents actually aren’t treated very well.

• Märit’s family interjects and suggests that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and should not be paid attention to.

• Her daughter and granddaughter both affirmed their belief that Märit is  mentally ill and they object. Märit says (later), “How would you know? You’re never here.“

• They asked her, what’s not good.

• Märit says, staff are rude, they curse and they don’t treat us right.

• Finally dad is done and sits.

• After dad gave his speech the room broke in to applause with everyone staring Calle down.

• Then, the staff accuse Calle of locking mom in a dark room. (This is what had been reported to IVO by Cecilia.)

• Calle never made these reports, mostly because he genuinely feared for mom’s good care and even her life.

• Especially after the threats of Sept 8.

• Calle really couldn’t know how serious their threats were. They could really could kill mom and get away with it.

• Furthermore, Calle was discouraged from going to the police.

• Others had reported to the police and received backhanded threats since the commune manager knows the police.

• Note: In regards to this meeting, see also: ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT THE THURSDAY, MARCH 28th, MEETING

1. B, F (article 5 – forced sleeping pill medication, not medically charted!)

(and medical malpractice)

Date: Monday July 8 – 22, 2013 (over a period of two weeks, every night)

Date: Thursday July 18 (talk with the doc described below occus)

Doctor name: Jonny Johansson

Place: Strömsund, Näva

Present: mom

• LG claim they cannot work with Calle present,

• Calle suggests everyone needs a little holiday. They decide to send her Strömsund, Näva.

• Calle asks, well, why not send her to Remonthagen, where she wants to go and can get rehab? They refuse and send her where she doesn’t want to go. The situation is similar and worse because she’d have no visitors.

• Mom is given sleeping pills

• The nurses deny the sleeping pills.

• The pills are not listed in the medical records.

• Calle and Cecilia saw mom given sleeping pills.
  Calle had requested that sleeping pills not be given;  if mom can’t sleep, just call Calle and he’ll come sit with her.

• One night Calle and Cecilia were there and the night nurse confirmed it was a sleeping pill that Ida had been given.

• The nightnurse said she had to fulfil the sleeping pill medication because the main nurse had said so.

• Next day, the head nurse denied sleeping pill prescription.

• Doctor claims no pills because it’s not on her chart.

• Use of sleeping pills was also obvious from her constant drowsiness.

1. B (article 5 – mom left sick (vomitting symptoms) on her back)

Date: August 4, 2013

Place LG

• Same thing as December when mom is sick

• She’s sick, left alone on her back

• Calle finds her with puke on her face and chest.

• Calle writes that the same has happened several times. They have very deliberately put her on her back in her bed and locked her in alone in her room when she was sick and needed to throw up. Mom knew that she might have to throw up and she knew that she couldn’t move. She didn’t know when it would happen, but she knew that she probably would suffocate when it happened and that no one would come to rescue her. It is like giving someone a time bomb and you don’t know when it is going to go off – or even worse, since you already feel sick and scared and you feel that you might need to throw up, but won’t survive if you do. Mom did throw up, but she was lucky and she did survive. If that is not torture then nothing is.

Here are a few more examples when this happened:

• When sick and throwing up being locked in alone in her room put on the back in her bed – even though she can’t turn herself when she is throwing up

  §  Dec 26th, 2012
  §  Jan 11th, 2013
  §  Aug 4th, 2013

1. E (article 19, 20)

Place: Gäddede

Date:

• Many people (almost always choosing to remain unnamed) have expressed to Calle that they cannot speak out against the nursing home LG, the doctor Mats Ullén or the community leader, Andersson.

• This is because either they fear reprisal (economic, social or otherwise) or are connected to these people in some way.

• This includes the church leader (name, his wife works at LG).

• Other people have family at LG and they either don’t care (i.e. are happy their family is somewhere to die) or have been threatened that their family member will suffer if they speak out.

• Calle and his friend Märit were welcome at the tourist info centre for fika, until their friend there was fired.

1. A, B (article 9, 5 – mom denied eating meals with her family)

Place LG

• Mom wants to eat meals with her family. This right is denied to her.

• She expresses that continually but the right is denied.

30 A, B (article 3, 5)

Date: Oct 16, 2014

Place: LG

Present: Calle, Barbro, Maeve, Eva, LG staff

• Care planning meeting day

• A care planning meeting was scheduled. Calle is, by law, entitled to bring (at least one) friend with him to this meeting.

• Maeve Hunter was forcibily denied entrance (Barbro physically blocked her way) and so also was Calle’s friend, a chief doctor from Stockholm (Eva Törnqvist).

• Maeve telephoned many authorities (police in various cities) all who refused to comment.

• Maeve called a Swedish general emergency number who referred her to the local police.

• At the meeting Calle’s family were not interested in discussing Ida’s drug plan.

• Ulla, the main person in favour of administering Imovane/Zopiclone was not present.

• Ida has communicated she would prefer no drugs.

• IT TAKES 30 SECONDS TO FIND A WEBSITE SUGGESTING THIS DRUG SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO STROKE VICTIMS

• Calle has more evidence/research to this fact.. Nevertheless, it was decided Ida would receive this drug.

– here a few more maybe worth including (Simal)

31 A, E (article 1, 3, 19)

• Calle’s family and LG staff claim mom cannot communicate but she clearly can.

• She greets me (guest and friend from Canada, Simal Saujani), makes it clear when it’s time for fika, clearly is happy to offer fika.

• She makes eye contact and offers cookies.

• When she sees me, she reaches her hand to me and grabs my hand.

• She sings when she’s happy.

• She screams when she’s sad

• These are strongly correlated to when Calle comes in and the LG staff come in, respectively.

• The nurse is standing very close to Ida and talking firmly with her.

• Calle is sitting calmy in a chair nearby.

• The nurse ignores us, after a minute she leaves.

• We set the table for dinner.

• The nurse comes back with a tray of absolutely horrid looking plate of food (Simal’s description) and offers it to Ida.

• She says very little but takes the glass of juice. The nurse hesitates.

• Calle offers her to leave the tray on the counter beside the sink.

• The nurse is already walking out and says something sassy.

• After calle confirms: “the nurse told Ida she was not allowed to eat dinner anywhere else but the dining room and without us (her son and friends).”

• Ida had argued. The nurse took her chair and began to wheel her out. Ida grabbed the table and held on, resisting.

• Note again: when I arrived, Calle was sitting very calmly. He told me he suggested to the nurse, “well, why not ask what she wants?“

1. B (article 5)

Place: LG

Date: 11 January, 2015

• Calle called Chachi at 16:30, told us mom wet her pants.

• The nurses put her to bed and threatened her with no dinner.

• Distraught, she fainted.

• Returning later Calle stayed with her until 23:00.

• He got home after 23:30.

• We have no way of knowing if she got any food or not.

• Nevertheless, she was so happy to be able to see Calle eat –only because there were some white beans in her little fridge and she had food to offer him, her son.

• We suspect she did not eat (there have been other suspicious occasions when it seems possible she went without food)

Note: nobody else at LG receives any visitors. Other friends of mom’s used to visit but then were discouraged to visit any more.
