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
again. The echocardiogram only reflected nothing but some anatomical abnormalities, known before. The doctor who did the test
told me that the abnormalities have anatomical, not pathological, nature. However, instead of proceeding my mother's documents
Immigration submitted her (June 28, 2000) another illogical demand: to send them a "resume" of her "last visit to cardiologist". She
never has visited a cardiologist and had nothing to send them! She went to Mr. Giannakis M.D. who was her physician for
Immigration. He sent her to Dr. Gordon Creenstein, a known authority in cardiology, who examined her and told her the same:
