Controversies
Questioning of evidence on gas attacks in Syria war
The opinions of de Noli that have elicited controversy refer to his publications and statements questioning the evidence around allegations of gas attacks in Syria by government forces. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) published as official document in December 2017 an analysis authored by Ferrada de Noli, in which he alleged epidemiological bias in the report issued by the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism on the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack of April 2017 in Syria.[16]European mainstream media, e.g. Le Figaro,[17] ARD/BR,[18][19] and Der Spiegel[20] have raised criticism on Ferrada de Noli’s articles with geopolitical content, published by SWEDHR and in the online magazine The Indicter.[21] Dagens Nyheter,[22] together with other Swedish newspapers, e.g. Aftonbladet[23] Expressen,[24] Göteborgs-Posten,[25]Västerbottens-Kuriren,[26] Uppsala Nya Tidning,[27] also have addressed Ferrada de Noli's “frequent interviews in Russian media and Russian-government international propaganda channels”, and questioned the mentions to his work and to his organization SWEDHR done at press briefings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.[28][29][30][31][32]Ferrada de Noli’s contested the media criticism in the journal of the Swedish Medical Association Läkartidningen, claiming that SWEDHR is “absolutely independent”.[33] In an interview done on the subject, he declared, “We only have our own line. Whether that coincide or not with the positions of different countries, that is not our intention”.[34] Other official documents of the UNSC indicate that SWEDHR publications in The Indicter authored by de Noli have been cited or included in documents submitted at the UNSC by the Russian and Syrian ambassadors,[35][36][37] added the Russian envoys at the OPCW[38] or the ambassador to the UK.[39]
Geneva Press Club
Club Suisse de la Presse organized a conference November 2017 to debate events in Syria. Ensuing, Reporters Without Borders (RWB) called its cancellation, arguing against an invitation to Ferrada de Noli to hold a keynote address, being “president of an organization that, according with our information, acts as a tool of Russian propaganda.”[40] De Noli called RWB on Twitter to “publish your evidence now, or shame”.[41] Guy Mettan, president of the Geneva Press Club, dismissed the attacks[42] as “not worth of journalism”. The conference ultimately took place with police protection due to reported threats.[43][44] Earlier that year the Russian TV network Rossiya-24 had also reported on threats to Ferrada de Noli, to which he commented in the interview, “SWEDHR is not afraid and will continue its work”.[45]
Skripal case
At early events around the Skripal poison incident in Salisbury, de Noli was subject of new criticism in Danish TV[46] and Swedish media (e.g. Dagens Nyheter)[47] after he was interviewed on the topic [48] by Sputnik, in his capacity of chief editor of the online geopolitical magazine The Indicter. De Noli's thesis was that the poison Novichok would have been developed in Uzbekistan, not in Russia, and its possession by other countries could not be ruled out. According to Dagens Nyheter, he would have declared in an interview done with him by the newspaper April 2, 2018, that the Skripal incident could be a case of False flag in anticipating an eventual confrontation sought by the United Kingdom against Russia. [49]
Assange case
De Noli has also been criticized in the Swedish media for his public defence of Julian Assange . He published the book Sweden vs. Assange. Human Rights Issues, claiming that the case was instead political.[50] In a RT (TV network) interview he said that “WikiLeaks is a lifeboat to democracy”,[51] and 2011, via Jennifer Robinson (lawyer), he submitted to the London Court deliberating the extradition of Assange, a testimony based on his investigation “Swedish Trial by Media”.[52] In 2012, Swedish Radio said in a broadcast that Ferrada de Noli has implicated “a social democratic feminist working together with ‘arms companies’ trying to get Assange”.[53] Ferrada Noli denied that and asked Swedish Radio for a retraction.
Early controversies
Earlier controversies have involved articles in Swedish medical journals and media on his public opposition to the Swedish diagnose “utbrändhet” (work-related stress ‘burnout’), which he said didn’t have epidemiological ground.[54] After he wrote in DN that one risk factor for “utbrändhet” in women could be stress caused by a double working load, at the job and then at home –contradicting the notion of an advanced Swedish gender equality,[55] Minister Mona Sahlin commented that his thesis was “a bid insulting, to say the least”.[56] Later in 2005, Aftonbladet published a half front-page headline, “Professor in attack against the burned-out”. It referred an interview where Ferrada de Noli stated that to be displeased with a job cannot be equated with a medical diagnosis,[57] and a new debate ensued in the Swedish media.[58] In 1998, at that time professor in Norway, De Noli requested the legal extradition of General Augusto Pinochet, to be judged in a European court on allegations of torture and war crimes.[59][60][61]
Early political endeavours
Ferrada de Noli has been referred to as one of the founders[62][63][64] of the Revolutionary Left Movement (Chile), MIR (1965), and co-author of the “Political-Military Thesis”[65][66][67][68][69][70] approved in the foundation congress. MIR was a far left guerrilla organization with roots in the Socialist Party of Chile, where he participated in the regional board of the youth organization in Concepción.[71][72][73][74] MIR was considered Pinochet regime’s “number one counterinsurgency target”.[75] [76] He was detained several times by the government authorities,[77] and included in the national arrest warrant issued by the Chilean authorities prosecuting MIR’s subversion activities in 1969.[78][79][80][81] He was finally captured and held incommunicado in Concepción’s Prison.[82][83]After the aborted MIR resistance to the military in Concepción,[84] Ferrada de Noli was captured and held prisoner in Quiriquina Island.[85][86] In a photo of the epoch in newspaper La Tercera, he appeared among prisoners described as “extremists that have attacked the military forces with fire weapons”.[87]In 1974 he went to Italy[88] to participate as a witness at the Russell Tribunal in Rome, which reviewed human rights transgressions by the Government Junta of Chile.[89]In Sweden, he continued in MIR until 1977 as head of MIR and Junta Coordinadora Revolucionaria counter-intelligence activity in Scandinavia, undertaking aimed the monitoring of Operation Condor.[90][91] In 1976 he started working as psychotherapist at health services for political refugees in Stockholm County, and 1989 in crisis therapy provided at the Swedish Red Cross Project for traumatized and torture-survivor refugees.[92] During mid-80s he participated in the Swedish Liberal Party.
Ideology characterizations in Swedish media
The Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (2008) described Ferrada de Noli as “left-liberal”,[93] and newspaper Ystads Allehanda (2013) writes, “Left-liberal. But his conservative past continued to chase him”.[94] In newspaper Expressen (2018) Ferrada de Noli declared he participated as “social-libertarian” in the foundation of the guerrilla organization MIR in 1965, as well of been transitorely active in the Swedish Liberal Party during the 80’s – which at the time had a social-liberal profile in Swedish politics.[95]In an op-ed in Dagens Nyheter (2015) de Noli advocated for Sweden to return being a neutral country “as it was in Olof Palme’s times”, and “resuming an active role in the work for peace and respect for human rights in the world”[96]

Following retirement, Marcello Ferrada de Noli also founded the online magazine The Indicter,[44] authoring reports on “human rights and geopolitical issues”,[45] which have been considered controversial by some European mainstream media. In April 2017, Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN) reviewed his publications, and summarized, “(De Noli) means that Julian Assange is object of a conspiracy, that Ukraine is ruled by fascists, and that Swedish media –including DN– spreads Russophobic propaganda”.[46]
