the same time she has no piano (!) - because Immigration is sacking all financial resources away from the

family! And because her parents are persecuted and deprived.

Dear Sir, Lady!

We need an urgent help regarding incredible violations of our human rights. Please, inform us - if you can, - 1) what we can do, 2)

where to turn, 3) what tools we could use to fight this outrage injustice. Please, help! The most dangerous and alarming is the

manipulation of the medical data and medical personnel by Immigration. You'll find a short description of our tremendously huge

(long) story here below.

I am a human-rights activist, journalist and historian with numerous publications. My views and humanitarian activities made me a

target for persecutions in ex-USSR and - later (after deportation) - in another country, where I was taken together with my family

against our will. Our refugee claim was refused under exceptional circumstances and with a totally partial attitude. Decisions in our

case were unfair, inhuman and unjust. While hearing and proceeding our refugee claim Immigration officials have used illegal

methods, abuse of justice and human rights. On top of undeniable persecutions, an obvious fact that we had no place where to go

and tons of our documentary proof justice was denied to us in many outraged ways. We have appealed the decision, but the IRB's

(Immigration's) defender has emphasized security and other unconventional questions, and the Federal court closed our case.

During our refugee hearings the IRB's judge, Mr. Boiron said that we could face the same persecutions, which we had before, in

Canada as well. It was a threat.

Now we are more then 6 years in a limbo, administrative mayhem and ultra-vulnerable state. That is damaging our mental and

physical health, social and professional status, and chances to regain our professional domain and return to normal life. However, in

spite of human rights deniers in IRB and other departments, pro-Israeli lobby (with their people in Immigration), which goal is to keep

refugee claimants from Israel out of Canada, we received a positive decision. We highly appreciate that in spite of everything we

were granted the landed immigrant status in response to our humanitarian appeal 1 (one) year ago.

In the same time some opponents of this decision did not ceased their pressure. They did not want to allow us to receive the landed

immigrant's papers. In attempts to put us down they started to destroy me, my family, ours lives before we could receive the status in

Canada. Each routine immigration procedure - extension of the employment or student authorization, etc.
– turned into a mockery

and humiliation. We must fight for every small thing, which has to be proceeded automatically! Especially after we were given the

Certificat de selectione du Quebec: more then eight (8) months ago. Unnecessary expensive medical exams (Immigration has

pretended that lost our medical data) and other innumerous humiliations made our life unbearable. They combined my mother's

and mine cases in Immigration's computer, when in reality my mother's case has nothing to do with our case. (She's a sponsored

spouse of a Canadian citizen - since November 1998, - and we were accepted by the humanitarian appeal). Immigration officer

Madam Helene ROY illegally intervened in the medical issues to torpid my mother's case, and on her request Mrs. W. BRZEZINSKA

(M.D.) made a false report before my mother's medical evaluation for Immigration took place. Madame ROY refused to recognize

my mother's marriage "because of the medical concerns" the next day suddenly replacing this negative decision by another one.

When I called Immigration about my case, I was told three times that our case is frozen because of my mother's situation.

Immigration was concerned about a possibility of eventual diseases, which my mother could develop. Theoretically every person,

even the most healthy, could develop any terminal disease - and will develop: because everybody dies. Immigration's demands on

ground of a "potential danger of developing a terminal disease" are ridiculous and became a ground of discrimination, partiality and

abuse. A number of facts revealed that one of their goals was to put my mother under a stress damaging her health as much as

possible.

They contacted the medical lab where my mother did a x-ray before she went there. Later confusion about that x-ray took place. In

January 2000 Immigration's medical committee ordered my mother to do additional tests: strum creatinine (blood test) and

echocardiogram. The "strum creatinine" test (testing the kidney function) was already done before and was in norm. Cardio function

was already tested - there were no concerns. There were no reasons for additional tests. The strum creatinine test was normal
