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
