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 we and our friends 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, an 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 a 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 came 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

have 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 were 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 (the ignored his voluntarial arrival) 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 know 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.

We have submitted all the documentary proof we had to support our claim to the immigration board (committee). We also sincerely

described what happened to us in our claim's atory without any distortion or exaggeration. But what happened to us in the immigration

courtroom and between and after our 2 hearings is just incredible...

Why We Think Our Human Rights Were Violated By the Court?

Inside The Courtroom:

1)Some of the main documentary proofs (statements, affidavits, letters, receipts, articles, ect.) were ignored as if they never existed.

2)Other extremely important documents were mentioned but were ignored (if not - they might be an obstacle to what the judges

incriminated us). 3) Other documents (including Amnesty International's confirmation of our complain) were mentioned as incomplete proof

of particular events, when in reality they were given to support other events. In the same time documents which relate to these events were

ignored. 4) The same way our words were ignored, too. For example, I was asked an insinuating question. My answer closed that question
