at Stockholm University in Sweden

All the usual disclaimers apply
This is not official policy
It has not been discussed within a hundred miles
of any university or institutional committees etc. etc. etc
A trial balloon...to be shoot down
if you will

 The work was carried out on
4th June 1999
the tenth anniversary of the massacre of students
in Tiannaman Square
