We already have laws which cover that scenario perfectly adequately - perhaps the law is different in Sweden? Here in the UK, if a court orders you to divulge information which the law requires you to, and you refuse, you will be prosecuted for "contempt of court". There are numerous legal situations in which the law requires you to provide information of all sorts. One simple example which I mentioned earlier - if you are caught speeding by a speed camera, you are required to say who was driving the vehicle at the time of the offence; failing to provide that information is a crime.
Do you torture people in Sweden in that kind of situation?
