>From Sveriges Radio International:

"The Swedish Defence minister Sten Tolgfors has dismissed demands from Liberal 
parliamentarians that a person must be suspected of a crime before their 
communications are monitored by the new FRA law.

The Conservative Moderate minister argues that Sweden must protect itself from 
crimes committed by international terrorists and this is why the law must cover 
everyone, not just suspects.

Six Liberal parliamentarians told Swedish Television on Thursday that if this 
aspect is not reconsidered,
they would vote ’no’ to the controversial law as it stands today on grounds of 
integrity.

On Friday afternoon the six held a telephone meeting to discuss the so-called 
’crisis’ within their party.

One of the six, Birgitta Ohlsson, has said she will write an alternative 
proposal to the FRA law or support any proposition from the opposition calling 
for a repeal of this law."
