The Dresden ceremony will also be of a smaller format this year. The location will be some place else than Almhöjden at Skogskyrkogården. We want to encourage everyone who wants to honour the memory of Dresden, to hold ceremonies on their own, either in privacy or through organizations or societies they may be involved with. Afterwards we will gladly accept pictures and a few words for publishing.

Date: June 5, 2007 Matter: The legal dispute between the City of Stockholm and the Police regarding our licence of assembly Before the Dresden ceremony of 2006, the Cemetery administration of the City of Stockholm opposed the decision by the Police department to grant us permission to hold a public gathering on the cemetery. They appealed against it in the county administrative court, whose judicial decision was to the advantage of the Police (and us). As late as on the 13th of February, the matter had even been settled in the Swedish administrative court of appeal, which also cast its decision to our advantage. At the end of February that year, the City of Stockholm appealed to the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court in order to have the decision of the lower court repealed in case of possible future situations of this kind. We actually didn't know any of this until we almost a month after the remembrance ceremony learned about it in an article in a major Swedish newspaper:
Shortly thereafter we filed a petition of our own to the court in order to counter some of the unjustified accusations against us delivered by the City of Stockholm through the City lawyer:
Though almost a year has past since then, the court has not yet made its decision. When it does, we will post a report.
