Freed after lie about racist attack – psychologist testified to 'false memories'

Foreign. Hamse Ali, 24, was prosecuted in Norway after lying about him being brutally gang-spent assaulted by "six white men" who called him "fucking blacking" and "fucking negro." But now the prosecutor is requesting him to be acquitted – after a left-wing psychologist emerged as an expert witness and ruled that it could be about "false memories" rather than about a common lie.

Last autumn, Norwegian media reported an awful racist attack in Nygårdsparken in Bergen.

Hamse Ali told me that he was suddenly attacked by "six white men" who shouted racist slogans and beat him bloody.

The incident sparked a big stir in the media and a picture of Hamse Ali's bloody face was published by the Norwegian equivalent of "While," "Åsted Norway."

The Norwegian left took the opportunity to arrange "union train against racism" and the like. NOK 270,000 was collected from the public to the alleged victim.

But when the police investigated the matter, it quickly turned out that the story was made up, which one could stop itself, among other things, using data from an electric scooter.

In fact, at the time, Hamse Ali had an alcohol content of 1.1 per mille, measured in the emergency room, and he allegedly crashed for 25 kilometres an hour in a downhill in the city centre.

Ali was charged with false alarm.

But now the prosecutor is closing down the indictment requesting acquittal - citing that Ali may have suffered "false memories."

Behind the assessment are neuropsychologist and left-wing activist Knut Dalen, who testified as an expert in court. He is a professor emeritus of clinical neuropsychology and known for his political posts on social media. On X, he has shared videos where Donald Trump is described as “senil” and posts that accuse the Progress Party leader Sylvi Listhaug to conduct “Breivik rhetoric,” writes Document.no.

In 2020, he wrote: “Yes, there was order of things when the Progress Party finally left the government.”

The valley was appointed expert in the case and presented a report that concluded that Ali may have suffered from memory loss and "false memories" as a result of alcohol and head injury.

"The brain is vulnerable, and changes in memory are completely natural, even without the influence of head trauma or alcohol," Dalen said in court.

He defined a false memory as "a memory man has of something that turns out not to have happened."

The Valley claimed that Ali – who repeatedly broke down during the trial – seemed credible and lack of motives to make up a racist assault.

The prosecutor referred to the Valley's opinion and concluded that although Ali's story is demonstrably incorrect, there is reasonable doubt as to whether he realised it himself.

Hamse Ali will therefore be acquitted.

"He's very relieved," his defender Anette Askevold told BT after the hearing.
