Arjen Kamphuis, co-author of Counter Surveillance Techniques for Journalists, and associate of Julian Assange has been missing since August 20th. His disappearance is being investigated by the Norway police.

His handbook is discusssed here: https://gendo.ch/en/blog/arjen/book-information-security-for-journalists-v11

I suspect foul play for obvious reasons.

[MOD edit - Many thanks for this Ascension: very interesting and potentially very important.

We've now included a downloadable copy of this extremely helpful pdf here (http://projectavalon.net/Information_Security_for_Investigative_Journalists_V1.1.pdf) on Avalon. For those of us involved in this type of work it would seem very prudent to effect some of these safeguards, if we haven't already of course. There may well be updates to this over time as it was put together by Arjen about four years ago - - Tintin 05 Sept 2018]

Dutch police with an update (https://www.politie.nl/en/wanted-and-missing/missing-adults/2018/september/arjen-kamphuis.html):


On August 29, 2018, his employer reported him as missing. Research shows that Arjen's telephone was still on 30 August 2018 for 20 minutes in Norway. After this, the SIM cards were removed and a German SIM card was placed in his device. From this number the colleagues in Norway still request a history. At the time of starting this was in the vicinity of Vikesa Norway. On 03 September 2018, there was a witness who saw him in Denmark. So there is now also an investigation in Denmark via the Sirene bureau. Yesterday September 5, 2018 we have been told that Arjen in the Netherlands also bought a folding kayak for his holiday. According to the seller, he wanted to go kayaking at the fjords of Norway. This was yesterday released to colleagues in Norway. Arjen is wearing glasses, Blonde / reddish hair up to the shoulders, curly hair. Normal posture, possibly dark hyking clothing.

Let us hope for the best!

Arjen's belongings have been found at sea. Unfortunately, he is still missing. The Norwegian police have no theory about his disappearance and have not determined if it was a criminal act.
