In reply to the discussion: Eight myths about Assange [View all]HiPointDem
(20,729 posts)Meet Anna Ardin, the political secretary and press officer of the Swedish "Brotherhood Movement," a group of Christians from the Social Democratic Party controversial for inviting anti-Semitic speakers to the country. Another of their invited speakers: Assange...
Ardin appears to have helped coordinate Assange's travel around the country; in addition to arranging the Stockholm event, she reportedly tried to arrange places for Assange to stay through her Twitter account (she has apparently since deleted the tweets and has locked her WordPress blog).
The Swedish business news site Newzglobe today identified Ardin and quoted a Brotherhood official saying she was on sick leave from the organization. Ardin's name has also been tossed around in the Swedish blogosphere with increasing hostility: one writer wondered if the "radical feminist" was "the world's most hated woman right now."

Shamir and Bennett also describe Ardin as a leftist who published her anti-Castro diatribes (see here and here) in the Swedish-language publication Revista de Asignaturas Cubanas put out by Misceláneas de Cuba.
Shamir and Bennett noted that Las damas de blanco is partially funded by the US government and also counts Luis Posada Carriles as a supporter.

it's not just that she frequented the gay club: she was a founder.
Small detail: The article mentioned that .... "In 2007 she founded the gay club queer klubb Feber on Gotland, a 60 kilometers away from the coast Swedish island resort known as the cultural scene." I'm really impressed, this woman amazes with its versatility. Verify and ... it's true:
