Urgent Attention Please!   To all elected Representatives of the People   Dear Sir Madam   South Australia:  Alan Keam, a member of ONE VOICE – ONE PEOPLE Human Rights Defenders (OVOP) has been arrested. Armed Australian Government officials turned up at his home last night, Sunday 17/02/01 at 7p.m arrested him and put him in jail. This is now the third member of OVOP who has been jailed unlawfully. John Wilson is still fighting for compensation for wrongful imprisonment and Brian Fyffe has now been kept already more than 4 months in jail without a trial.   What are their crimes?   Alan Keam, like many educated Australian people, has researched the legal history of the Australian Constitution and raised questions about the validity of the Australian Constitution. OVOP has been provided with information that the UN has been presented with a report “Australia: the Concealed Colony” requesting the UN to determine the legal status of Australia. The issue of this report is also whether the Australian Constitution is valid.   Alan Keam asked the Local Government Authorities to produce their head of power to make sure that he paid rates to a legitimate authority. The Authorities refused to produce such documents.   The matter went to court and Alan Keam demanded an impartial independent trial and for that reason requested the court to provide him with a head of power. Alan Kean assured the court that he would do all things requested as soon as he has received the documentation. The court refused to comply with his request and the Registrar of the Court told Alan Keam in a letter that he does not want to have anything to do with him.   For some while now Alan Keam received threatening phone call from a person claiming to be a sheriff. Last night at 7p.m Alan Keam was arrested under allegations of contempt of court.   Alan Keam is not in contempt of court! He is very concerned about the violations of human rights in Australia. His crime seems to be that he asked to be provided with documentation from government authorities, which show that they have the authority they claimed to have under an Australian Constitution.   OVOP are alarmed because of another issue: “The 1988 Referendum” which defeated the existence of the Local Government by the Australian people. Please find attached OVOP’s letter to, the Hon Daryl Williams, Attorney General asking for advice.   Will the Australian Government start a “witch hunt” and jail all the people who ask questions about the validity of the Australian Constitution and the Referendum in question? Will people be just whisked away at nighttime like in previous Nazi Germany and Russian KGB style?   Do you believe that the Australian Government has the right to refuse to answer question of concerned citizens? Why have the authorities refused to provide the information requested by Adam Keam, an Australian Citizen?     What actions are you going to take as an elected representative of the Australian people? You are responsible for the Government’s abuse of the so-called due process to shut people up and for the violations of human rights in Australia?   Yours faithfully Brigitte Straulino President ONE VOICE – ONE PEOPLE, Human Rights Defenders
