ticles). But on the other hand she excluded
     the most important paragraphs in her  translation and gave the opposite
meaning to the most important facts and conclusions. 3) The
     translator also sabotaged the translation  of some  official papers and
other documents which we and G. prepared to support our claims.
     She told us that she  has translated some  of  them and  that she would
find a translator from Hebrew -but it was a lie. If not our complains to
     the  lawyer and  an alert  note  we  gave  to  him:  No  documents were
translated. 4)We believe that a conspiracy between the immigration board
     and  the translator  took place. She was given an order  to insert some
particular phrases in G. story which he didn't want to see there. Later,
     in the courtroom,  these  phrases were  used against him. These phrases
were taken from articles he wrote before we escaped from Israel.
     Among them were the articles which G. hasn't presented to her or to our
lawyer when she was doing the translation of his story. The
     members of the immigration board have exploited these phrases again and
again: What leads to a suggestion that it wasn't
     occasionally.  6)  There  is   a  visible  connection  between  the
immigration officer - and Mr.Mark Kotlarsky, who lives in Israel. This
     gentlemen is an informer and a provocateur for  Israeli authorities. He
wrote an article about G. in 1994, in Israel. This article was written in a
     humiliated  and sarcastic  manner. Mr.Kotlarsky  used  the  information
which G. shared with him (as with his close friend ) against him. This
     article  is  outright  slander, mystification,  false  insinuations and
lie.. Before G.  discovered that Mark Kotlarsky  is the government agent  he
told
     him some things which G. never told to any other person. But during our
immigration hearing and during the hearing of family G. these
     things were used  by the immigration  officer  against us.  We  have no
other explanation but that she's in a contact with Mr.Kotlarsky.  7)
     Then, we have  a reliable  source  of  information  which says that the
immigration officer, the member of the immigration board in our cases, is
     an Israeli.  Because  of  some reasons  we'd  like  not  to present the
evidences for that. But this paragraph can play an informative role only.
     We have no pretensions to demand you to believe in that. From the other
hand if the immigration officer is an Israeli (it can be confirmed, if
     somebody  wants to find out) and the patriot of Israel (the last is too
clear), she has no moral and - may be - legal rights to judge in refugees'
     from  Israel cases.8)When  G.'s came to  Montreal they gave G.'s wife's
birth certificate and it's legal translation to our lawyer. Dispute the
     submission  of that legal  translation  the lawyer's translator did her
own translation. Now we discovered that she sabotaged ("refused") to
     translate his  wife's parents' nationality. There is a clear connection
between that sabotage and the immigration officer's tactics in that
     issue. The immigration court decision came to us at the 14 of December,
1996. The denial of our claim for a refugee status doesn't reflects
     what really happened during  our immigration hearings and has almost no
connection with our claim. It is a masterpiece of rhetoric and
     profanation. This document is a next proof that an  only decisive voice
in our case was the voice of the immigration officer. She was a real
     judge - and the official judges  were just  mutes. The text of  "their"
negative decision reflects her style and based on her words exclusively:
     Her  declarations  she made during  our hearings are  reflected in this
document pretty good. But this document ignore our answers
     completely: As if we kept silence all the time. When in reality some of
our counterarguments completely discredited her insinuations.
     Nothing  what  the  judges  said  during  our  immigration  hearing  is
reflected in the immigration board decision, what means that the decision to
     deny our claim  was  made by the immigration officer only  (without the
judges) when according to the rules she has no decisive voice but only
     a  consultative voice. The denial's  text is much the declaration about
Israel then a statement of an immigration committee. It based on an
     acsioma that Israel is a democratic state (society). Such a declaration
lays beyond the juridical matter: Because there is not in jurisdiction of
     an  immigration board to decide which state is a democracy and which is
not. This is a privilege of an academic institution but not of an
     executive board. Then it  is an act of injustice to declare that Israel
is a democracy in an imperative manner giving the refugee claimants no
     possibility  to  present their view and  their counterarguments. It  is
clear from what was discussed during our immigration hearings that Israel
     has almost nothing in  common with democracy. A permission to leave the
country, an indication of nationality and the country of origin in
     special enternal passports, a supremacy of the  religious laws over the
civil code, a right for a military committee to decide who is a single
     son - and  who's  not, an  imprisonment  for months without an official
accusation: All these and hundreds of other Israeli laws are suitable
     may be for  a mental hospital - but not for a "democratic society".  An
opinion expressed by the document that we should not escape to
     Canada but  should seek a  help in Israel also has  nothing what  to do
with the reality. We did everything to defend ourselves in Israel, and G.
     as a journalist and the human righta activist  did  everything that was
possible to help us.He presented tenth of receipts of his complains to
     various ministries  and organizations including the Ministry of Police,
the Ministry of internal affairs and police, which were unanswered, to
     the  immigration committee. The  sad  truth is that  the committee just
ignores everything. And recognize only the ungrounded Israel's
     declarations. And the immigration officer - a person who sends faxes to
Israeli embassy, obtains documents there;in other words who's in
     tight connection with Israelis - is the only person who has a decidable
voice in the refugees from Israel cases... Isn't that sad?!

     We can not go back to Israel under no condition, because
     1)  my  husband  and  my  son may  be arrested  by  the militaries  and
imprisoned. I expressed my grounded fears about that during the hearings
     -  and I  can widen them now. 2) How can we  go  back  to Israel if the
immigration officer informed the Israelis about our refugee claim? In
     Israel where  the ideology  and  the  patriotic education play  a  very
important role we will be considered as  "traitors"  and will be  persecuted
for
     that, too. 3) Persecutions  against us in Israel were so strong that if
we would be send back to Israel we will die. 4) After receiving so called
     "21-st  military profile" my son  has  no future  in Israel: Because in
Israel people who are given that "profile" can not study, and nobody will
     employ  my son with such a "profile". 5) After all the persecutions  we
faced in Israel we feel fear - and we are afraid to go back; our fear, our
     psychological  tremor  towards  Israel are  so  strong  that  there  is
impossible for us  to live in  Israel any more. In  the name of  God, in the
name
     of Justice - HELP US!!!

     CONCLUSIONS: our  2 immigration hearings (as  well as  hearings  in  G.
case) have nothing in common with any legal procedure. They rather
     remine of an incuisition  court or  a secret  political  tribunal. This
tribunal was arranged to punish us for flieding Israel and G. - for his
     ideological views  - not  to  decide  whether  or not our  (ours and G.
family's) claim  for a refugee  status is justified.  It  was used  for  the
political
     purposes:  To  "show"  how  just any  information  about  human  rights
violations in Israel which not concerns Arabs can be calmed down - and
     to express  a huge pro-Israel propaganda.  They  made  clear that  they
treat our escape from Israel as a mutiny and will never admit the very
     fact  that we are in  Canada,  in  Quebec, not in Israel.  Their words,
their behavior - everything - was meant to show us that we could only
     deserve to be treated according to the  Canadian rules after  getting a
refugee status. Before that we don't deserve to be treated by
     Canadian rules. That's why we were treated according  to  the rules and
norms of Israel!!! It hard to find a more violative ritual of humiliations
     over the  juridical norms  then that... It is absolutely  clear for the
judges  - as well as for ourselves -  that  we  were severely persecuted  in
Israel,
     that all  members  of  our  family  were severely abused and  that  the
definite casualties were inflicted to our health, including our son.  It  is
also
     absolutely clear to the judges that the deportation back to Israel is a
death penalty for all members of our family. The tricky thing is that the
     immigration  board expressed  almost no  doubt  about  persecutions  we
survived in Israel or even recognized the harshness of these
     persecutions. But the point is that they claim ... we are guilty in the
persecutions ourselves - and therefore they don't worry about our souls
     and our lives... So, this is not even a tribunal, but a brutal act of a
vengeance. sp; * The court's negative decision (resume) was
     made  and  expressed  in an  inappropriate  manner  without  any  clear
connection to our real case. The decision was clearly made by the
     immigration officer, not by the judges. She is an Israeli  patriot  and
she hates the Russian-speaking people. Everything what is expressed in
     the decision  document is basicly  a lie. The text of that  document is
politically motivated and juridically illegal. This  is just the next  stage
of
     injustice.

AN ADJUSTMENT

     We came to Israel in 1990; as many  other people  we had a hope  for  a
better life. As the most of Russian-speaking people we were
     "welcomed" by a  malicious anger, the state unti-Russian propaganda and
the most severe discrimination. Our son was 15 when we came to
     Israel.  Each of us (including our son)  was assaulted, abused, beaten,
discriminated against. The ignorance of what is going on in Israel with
     the  Russian-speaking  people can  not  make what our  friends  and  we
suffered from in Israel unreal. Batteries, assaults, abuses were real and
     happened  to  us in real life. If my son could come to school and could
hear a discussion about the last article in a Hebrew newspaper, in which
     "Russians" were called sons of a bitch, prostitutes, fools and thieves:
was it "unreal"? And the computer games in Hebrew accompanied by
     songs with words like "Russians,  go home": They  were as real  as  the
real life. And the social  climate  in Israel is so horrible that if a child
is
     beaten  at school "because  he's Russian" - he is forced to feel guilty
himself as if he's guilty in not being an Israeli but being a Russian.

     Any  person  with  conciseness (a  journalist, immigration official,  a
human right  organization  official) could take a translator from Hebrew, go
to a
     library or to  an archive and  find articles in Hebrew newspapers which
have highly aggressive untie-Russian contest. And what about
     thousands of  articles in Russian newspapers published in Israel  about
what can be called almost genocide against "Russians"?

     When they began to  call my  son to a draft board (because Israel has a
compulsory military service) he asked an alternative military service
     each time they called him: because  he was afraid  of hostility towards
"Russians" within the Israeli army and also because of the rule that a
     single son can not be taken into the front-line units against his will.
They gave him no decision, but kept ordering him to come to the draft point
     again and again.
     One day a new routine order to  come to the draft point arrived. My son
was ordered to come one day - but the order has been sent one day
     later  then  the date of his appearance. A  couple  of  other days past
before he got the order. But as soon as he got it he immediately went to the
     draft board.

     When he came they have arrested him incriminating him a disobedience to
the order to come. No excuse, no explanation was admitted.
     Everything happened so fast that there is no doubt: they were prepared.
So, they have submitted this order for him later then the date he was
     called  to intentionally. He was accused  in a refusal  to  come to the
draft board (they ignored that he arrived voluntarily) and in avoiding the
     military  service.  They  have treated him  like  if  he already was  a
soldier and flied from a military unit. He was also given a soldier's number
as
     if he was a soldier when in reality he never entered the army and never
wearied a military uniform. When he admitted that he's going to
     become mentally ill because of the military prison they refused to give
him a Russian-speaking psychologist, and the Hebrew- speaking
     psychologist  couldn't speak with our  son, but wrote a report based on
ungrounded insinuations. When later a Russian-speaking psychologist
     appeared he  translated him that report but told that it is  impossible
now to dispute what the Israeli wrote.

     When our  son  was in  the  military  prison  severe humiliations  were
committed over  him. All the  violations of the rules and of the moral norms
in
     his  case were too innumerable 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!!!
