A photographer, a journalist at dagens nyheter, together with the boater were out in the Stockholm archipelago, in connection with submarine hunt in October when they were stopped by military police at the Berga naval base. According to the indictment, they came in in a military zone, and the photographer’s memory card was seized. The water area should have been signposted to the access of unauthorized persons was prohibited.

Now prosecuted the crimes against skyddslagen.

The three involved denies the offences and has previously notified the deficiencies in the investigation, including when it comes to förbudsbojarnas placement and when to measure these happened. The district court rejected their request, which has now been appealed to the court of appeal.

But because the suspected breach shall be time-barred on 21 October, the prosecution did not wait any longer, writes the prosecutor, in his application for a summons.

back in June of last year lifted the seizure of the photographer’s memory card in the Highest Court, which said that fotograferingsförbudet not the case, and that the action was in violation of "the constitutionally guaranteed anskaffningsfriheten".

"the Photographing of the protected area has been made for the publication of constitutionally guaranteed media", wrote HD when in its decision.

dagens nyheter’s editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski welcomed the decision and tweeted: "It is very pleasing to HD repeals the seizure of the memory card. It is especially gratifying that the decision rests on the grundlagarnas rules".
