Icelandic Media Lie that No SI Prisoner is Being Held!

Both National Broadcaster RUV and TV station Stod 2 claim that no SI
prisoner is being held. Both news departments quote the police as a
source for this.

This is typical of the kind of massaging of the truth that both the
Icelandic police and media are used to getting away with.

Miriam R. has been imprisoned for eight days in Hegningarhusid,
Skolavordustig, 101 Reykjavik. She is 23 years old and is being held in
a male prison.(1)

It is easy for the police to say that they do not know of any SI people
that are in prison. Miriam R. is not in their charge. The prison
Hegningarhusid falls under the Icelandic State Prison Authority
(Fangelsismalastofnun.)

What a convenient amnesia about the structure of the Icelandic legal
system! Yet again, the Icelandic media have not done their homework.

Dullness and deceit seem to be the prerequisite for a job in the
Icelandic media.
