Denna historien har jag inte hört förr, någon som vet något mer? Uppenbarligen är det inte bara svenska myndigheter som kan begå grova övergrepp mot medborgarna.
Jag mötte en britt i somras som hävdade att i UK respekterade de minsann de mänskliga rättigheter. Verkar inte så, va?

Turing was subjected to chemical castration in 1952 after being found guilty of the charge of gross indecency for having a homosexual relationship, an illegal act at the time. He committed suicide two years later.Turing was best known for inventing the Bombe, a code-breaking machine that deciphered messages encoded by German Enigma machines during World War II.
The messages provided the Allies with crucial information from the British government's code-breaking headquarters in Bletchley Park where Turing worked full-time during the war.
He was considered a mathematical genius and went on to develop the Turing machine, a theory that automatic computation cannot solve all mathematical problems, which is considered the basis of modern computing.
However, to avoid a custodial sentence for gross indecency Turing agreed to undergo chemical castration. He was injected with estrogen, an experience that is widely believed to have led to his suicide just two years later. Turing ended his life at the age of 41 by eating an apple laced with cyanide.
