Executed? Isn't that an exaggeration? She's still breathing, isn't she?
The term is borrowed from Per Lindeberg, who wrote the definitive book on the infamous dismemberment murder case. He speaks of a social execution. Birgitte Bonnesen, former CEO of Swedbank, has been socially executed. She was fired, her contract with the bank was terminated by Göran Persson without any stated reason. She has been publicly shamed in the press for months and years. First acquitted, then convicted of gross fraud.
In the dismemberment case, at least there was a crime to be innocent of. Here, there is nothing-except journalists who get everything wrong, legal authorities eagerly acting as the mob's enforcers, and a court that fails to understand the very evidence it relies on to convict.
Yes, executed. This is a horror story.
