ГУЛаг Палестины

me the letter said that my chest x-ray shows signs of a tuberculosis infection. "The Canadian Department of Immigration - the letter

also said - has notified the Infectious Disease Unit..." - etc. It demanded to be prepared paying up to five hundreds dollars - and sign

special legal document: a constat for infected by infectious disease non-residents of Canada. On November 9/then 15 I have

submitted a letter in protest to the Montreal Chest Institute.

The main points of my letter were:

1) I will disregard this and other anonymous letters. 2) The procedural requirements were violated - because Immigration should

submit it to me (my physician) but not to the hospital. 3) Violating them Immigration deprived me of my constitutional right to choose

an institution where to do additional tests if required. 4) Because the hospital on behalf of Immigration ordered me to sign a constat

and appear in Infectious Disease Unit I was wrongly treated as a TB carrier. They had no legal rights to treat me as a contagious

carrier until an undeniable medical proof is established. 5) Medical ethics should not allow anybody to treat me that way before

making conclusions based not on Immigration's rapport. 6) A single x-ray could not determine whether or not any shadow (if any)

means tuberculosis, or simply any kind of pneumonia, bronchitis, or a combination (see medical books). Any conclusions based on

only one x-ray are ridiculous, partial, and prejudicial. 7) On November 14 I did another x-ray. It revealed that there were no any

suspicious shadow, no abnormalities - and (as my medical advisers told) could not be 2 weeks before, especially tuberculosis-like

shadows. 8) By sending me to the Infectious Disease Unit they might expose me to contacts with real infected carriers. 9) Merely

another x-ray should be initiated before doing anything else.

10) I gave a number of reasons why I could not be infected by TB and made a suggestion that a) my x-ray photo was replaced by

somebody else or b) Immigration's insinuations did not match the photo.

On November 17 CDL MED LAB submitted me a receipt by fax pretending that I must pay for a blood test for syphilis, which they

pretended I could do on October 31 2000 only at their site. However, I never did that test and even never was at CDL MED. On

November 20 I received an (anonymous) call from Immigration and was accused of conceiving the fact that I was infected by aids

when entered Canada! In response I have submitted a request by fax to the Reddy Memorial Hospital archive and telephoned there

many times to receive copies of my blood and x-ray tests but there is still no answer. On November 28, 2000 Immigration ruled that

there is a doubt that the x-ray from November 14 is mine. However, they received an original document from Clark LAB and had no

legal rights to doubt it! They also pretended that not me but another person did this x-ray instead of me. However, the x-ray was

covered by my medical card, which has my photo on it! Besides, Immigration is not a criminal court and has no power to make

criminal verdicts. They are in a pure rage! They demanded the original of the x-ray made in Clark LAB (meanwhile, it is possible that

Immigration informed MCI that the x-ray from November 1 was lost!). Further they insist that I must be referred to the chest specialist

anyway!

Rights of our children are severely violated. This is the seventh year they live in Canada without the status of residents. Their very

basic, essential rights, and everyday life are affected! If what my advisors told me is true, this situation also violates international

standards and Canadian laws: because children should not be deprived the landed immigrants status after 5 years and should not

be left completely without any citizenship/residency papers. (Our children have no passports or even travel documents of any state).

Ungrounded and illegal bureaucratic policy to keep us further in a limbo, in the frames of social, financial, professional, and legal

devastation and deprivation is inadmissible. The everyday fear of deportation has already destroyed us. Because of that and many

other situational, administrative, psychological, and etc. troubles and inconveniences, and intensive Immigration's pressure, we are

destroyed, our lives are already ruined! Please, HELP!!!

Demands in family GUNINS case:

1. We need a clear answer in writing if Immigration received our police clearings. And if not - a) why; b) what must be done now.

2. If the medical exams were affirmatively required for all family members - why Immigration did not initiated them for all family

members six months ago? We also need an assurance in writing that Ina will not be required to do medical examination.

3. We would like any other artificial delays in our case proceeding to be stopped. We also have right to know who is in charge of our

file!

4. If we will not be given the status of landed immigrants immediately, Immigration officials will completely destroy us.

5. A criminal investigation must be initiated on the manipulation of the medical data.
