to mention them. During his imprisonment our son was transformed from a healthy person to a mentally ill boy. When he was released from the military prison (he was in the
prison more then 3 months; no charges were posed against him, no court took place) the military medical committee recognized him as a mentally ill person. When he was just
imprisoned he was recognized as a fully healthy person suitable to the military service. He received some treatment here, in Canada, and the immigration board knows it. We
did everything we could to release our son from the military prison. But the civil lawyers refused to take his case as soon as they heard about the conflict with the army. Some
of them assaulted us refusing to take the case. We demanded a military lawyer but the military commandature in Jaffo denied us a military lawyer. We turned to all the
possible places like Israel Bar Association,human rights organizations, Sharansky's Zionist Forum, Israel and foreign media, state officials: nobody couldn't or didn't want to
help us. Then we decided to send a letter to Amnesty International. A friend of us - a dissident and a journalist Lev G. - has contacted Amnesty International and later submitted
several faxes to them. When the authorities realized that we complained to Amnesty International they released our son from the military prison.
We couldn't live in Israel any more after what happened to us and to our son there, and also because we were afraid that our son can be arrested again if we will stay in Israel.
The only reasonable solution for us was to escape. And the only way to do it was to become refugee claimants. We flied to Montreal in November 1994.
I don't want describe the whole farce of so called "immigration hearings". There were 2 of them.
Any positive decision couldn't be taken in our case since the immigration officer assigned to our case is a Jew, probably, an Israeli, and she hates the Russian-speaking
people. We prove in our later appeal that it was her who took the decision in our case.
Several months ago when our son was on a party, one gay called him out and took him to a car.
That gay was drunk. When driving the car he damaged several parked vehicles. Later we discovered that he took another person's car.
Despite the clear evidences that not my son drove the car police accused him. We also have an audiotape where that other boy recognizes that he (not our son) was guilty. There
is a recorded telephone conversation on this tape. Just everything was ignored during the first criminal hearing in that case. Of cause it looks as if my son accompanied that
gay - it's enough to accuse him. But you must take into consideration that he is psychologically, mentally ill after Israeli military prison. A healthy person could refuse to hear
what that gay told him but my son is a sick person!
I believe that this was MOSSAD's provocation, and I believe that the politicians are still behind everything what is going on around us.
If somebody can do something to help us to avoid deportation to Israel, HELP US!!!
DO SOMETHING!!!

PH.D. in computer science, system analyst. Winner of a gold medal for computer system "BRIG" in CAD-CAM spheres at the National Exibition of the
USSR in Moscow in 1988. Human rights activist with huge influence in 1991-1992 in Israel. Author of the "Program of Development of Israel", which had
received high rate from the group of prominent economists in Israel (with the leadership of professor Reihman - University of Tel-Aviv,- the author of the
project of the Constitution of Israel).
Subject: Violation of the United Nation Refugee Convention signed by Canada towards refugee claimants from Israel:
As a refugee claimant from Israel who lived in Canada five years, I posess much information and numerous proofs that IRB-s in Toronto and Montreal use a
hidden discriminatory policy toward ex-Soviet Jews and their families who have arrived in Canada via Israel. We would also like to draw your attention to
permanent discrimination of these people, which takes place in Israel. That discrimination forced masses of them - talented, highly educated and highly skilled,
who could not get rooted in Israel - to seek a refuge in Canada, the country, which guarantees human rights and had signed the International Human Rights
Convention and UN Refugee Convention.
During the last few years, these people have constantly encountered an unexplainable bias and prejudism not only in the Immigration and Refugee Boards
(IRBs), but at every level of the Ministry of Immigration. I consider that it is my duty to draw your attention to the fact that the minister of Immigration Mrs.
Lucienne Robillard, who has been elected at West Mount district in Montreal (Grand Montreal area), openly carries out a lobbying policy under the influence
of the Canadian Jewish Congress fulfilling their wishes: the ex-Soviet Jews from Israel are "PERSONA NON GRATA"s in Canada. Mrs. Lucienn Robillard
