The Wilkes/Gleditsch trial (Norwegian: Wilkes/Gleditsch-saken[1]) in 1982 in Norway, involved two "researchers' (of Peace and conflict studies) publication of a research report based on the gathering of information from open sources — and later putting together the information into a complete picture, and that the picture constituted a secret — the "puslespill doctrine», according to the website of Norway's Cabinet in 2011.[2]

Electronic listening posts[3] in North-Norway, and their significance was the secret that was revealed.[4] (The Wilkes/Gleditsch case has been mistaken/confused[5][6] with the "Loran C affair", that concerned the publication of the existence of a radiowave-transmitter used for navigation.[7])

Owen Wilkes and Nils Petter Gleditsch were convicted of breaching a Norwegian criminal code, pertaining to espionage — paragraphs 90 and 91 of Straffeloven. They received a suspended prison sentence, in addition to being fined and charged with saksomkostninger.

Names

The trial has various other names in Norwegian, including "Gleditsch-saken" and "Gleditsch/Wilkes-saken".
