Dear Ladies,
I am sending this communication to my address
list.
If this doesn't wake Australians out of their brain-dead state
- nothing will.
John Wilson.
Dear Friends
As earlier advised Erica and myself went to
Melbourne to visit Brian Fyffe in prison. Before leaving I rang the prison
and asked about there procedure. I sent a fax to the governor of the
prison requesting professional visit rights as a human rights organisation.
When we arrived at the prison, we were refused
any visiting rights. I then contacted a Victorian member of Parliament and
was referred to the Minister for Corrective Services. His adviser contacted
the office of the Commissioner for Corrective Services. We also met with Brian Fyffe's daughter, Judy
Mastwyk and various people who tried to help us. After
spending one day trying to assert our rights as an human rights organisation
to visit Brian Fyffe, the officers of these department became very agitated
and would have - on the end of the day - just bent so far to allow us a
social visit. We declined because this would have defeated the
purpose.
At the moment we are drafting a letter to the
UN and their Human Rights Committee about this situation. Nevertheless
people in Australia need to ask them selves whether they want protection of
human rights and therefore would be willing to fight for them. At the moment
there are no rights they are able to claim regardless what the
many pages of paper of acts of the law and covenants may say.
Best regards
Brigitte Straulino.
