I would like citations on the fact that Sweden doesn't fulfill the requirement for rule of law and legal security

A random google search revealed this site: http://worldjusticeproject.org/rule-law-index-map

A quick look suggests that the rule of law in Sweden is among the highest in the world. But if you got any sources on the contrary I would be happy to read them.

Those are just for general cases -- a median of government/police behavior. (Not to mention a lot of those are reported or based on data by government bodies themselves).

Doesn't say squat about specific people targeted by some agency (as examples, unwanted agitators, etc).

The "rule of law" is great in the US too in general, but you have people like J.E Hoover break all the rules in the book, or Senator McCarthy make his own rules, etc. Or you have the government maintain a whole prison, with torture, no due process, no trials, etc at all, outside the country (Guantanamo).

The treatment of law in general cases is not at all the same as the treatment of law in "targeted" cases.
