ГУЛаг Палестины - Лев Гунин

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:

augmentation has the anatomical nature, it is not pathology. He submitted his rapport on 27 July 2000. Any impartial observer can

see that both kidney and heart "chapters" in that story were closed now. However, it was not enough for Immigration. On September

2000 Immigration's medical department made another ruling. They ordered my mom to have another urine test and then visit an

urologist. She did the test immediately - and the visit to urologist was scheduled for November. Even this did not satisfied

Immigration! On September 19 my mother received a letter from another Immigration officer, which demanded from her a statement

how she obeyed the last Immigration's order, and accused her of postponing and sabotaging the procedure. It was signed by L.

Cawchesne. Meanwhile Dr. Giannakis called Immigration and told that there was no reason for demanding a visit to an urologist:

because there was nothing abnormal in her urine test. They had no choice but to agree with him. He cancelled the appointment to

urologist because Immigration's medical division has finished working with her file - and informed the immigration officer that they

have no medical concerns about her any more. However, Immigration still did not make any decision, refusing to close my mother's

file and submit her the papers. Now they have no reasons at all, no excuses or explanations. One of my mother's immigration

counselors was refused a clear answer, another was refused a conversation. From my sources I know that her file is given to Rene

Jacque. There is no decision, no ruling. And my mother is in the limbo again. And I am told that my case is frozen because of my

mother's situation...

Another Immigration's excuse of tormenting us was the question of my wife's, and my police clearings. Because I am trying to keep

that letter in a reasonable length I'll skip the details, which I could provide later. I never got a clear answer if the police certificates for

us were received at Immigration - and attached to our file.

Immigration's officials stopped to sign their official letters to us or give their names. There is no proper Immigration's logo, any special

paper, anything to tell that this is not a fraud or joke... When Immigration calls us there is a "private call" indication! When I ask an

anonymous person to identify him/her, or tell me who is responsible for my file, I am always refused! If sometimes they sign their

letters, they sign them by names like Jeanne D'Arc, Honore de Balzak... They refuse to mention their position or rank. There is no

"immigration officer" indication or anything else. Just Jeanne D'Arc!

On October 26 by letter Immigration ordered my daughter Marta and me to undergo the medical examinations. Six (6!) months ago I

demanded in writing to allow me and my family members pass the medical examinations by initiating an appropriate decision with a

proper letter and forms (Med1A.doc) submission - and was denied it. By then Immigration argued that only my wife must undergo

medical examinations, and submitted a medical form (February 2000) for my wife only, omitting my daughters and me. Now again:

they did not send us the form for my older daughter's medical exams. This is obviously another tool for sabotaging our case in the

future. Knowing what my mother experienced with her "medical clearings" we could suggest that for us it would not be easy, too. By

then my wife's medical exams will expire, and she'll have to do them again! Then Immigration could tell that now my older daughter,

Ina, must undergo the medical exams. Theoretically, they can sabotage our case for eternity refusing us the landed immigrants'

papers forever; in the same time making our life vulnerable, unbearable and miserable.

My daughter and me - we went through the medical examination on October 31 2000. Doctor Giannakis told us that he found

nothing to be concerned about. Next day after 5 p.m. I received an anonymous call - as I was told - from Immigration. A man told me

that I might be punished for misconduct for not doing ordered by Immigration x-ray test and refusing the medical treatment. On

November the 1-st, I did a x-ray test at the Montreal Chest Institute. I was told that everything is in norm and there is nothing to worry

about. On November 2-nd 2000 - I received an anonymous ("private call" indication) telephone call from the Israeli consulate that our

police clearings came. Why then Immigration told us that they were received on October 17.

On November 6 2000, an anonymous (no names, telephones, signatures) letter from Montreal Chest Institute arrived. Addressing to

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.

Demands in Elisabetha GUNIN (Epstein) case:

There is only one demand: she must be given her landed immigrant papers immediately and unconditionally.

Dear Sir or Lady!

The most unpleasant thing is that in a country where there no concentration camps and common tortures nobody believes you.

Nobody believes that what happens to you - happens. That's why it's even harder to stand our troubles.

1. Let me mention briefly the source of our problems: I was a human-rights activist, former Soviet dissident (which led to deportation

from my native Belarus to Poland). From there my family and I were taken against our will to Israel. In Canada we filed a refugee

claim. Since 1994 we do not have normal life. We have problems.

Usage (against us) of contrived medical data to manipulate and prolong our vulnerable situation is one of them.

Theoretically falsification and manipulation of medical data can lead to a forcible treatment from diseases, which
