The Swedish tabloid "Expressen" has been sentenced for publishing photos on which dying Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh can be seen. The Swedish press council said that the interest of the relatives for privacy protection stand higher than the public's right to information. "Expressen" published the photos soon after Ms Lindh's death. The photos clearly show the apparently unconscious foreign minister being taken away on a stretcher after she was stabbed while shopping at a Stockholm shopping centre on 10 September 2003. According to spokesperson Christel Ericson, "Expressen" has been ordered to pay 2,700 euros and publish the complaint. The "intrusive" way in which the photos were presented has violated the press ethics code, the council stated. Ms Lindh died soon after the attack in a hospital. In January, 25-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was found guilty of the attack.
