of the "The Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups

"NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) are essential in

OVOP filed a complaint for Mr Brian Fyffe to
the UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) because of the appalling human rights
violation this man and his family suffered in Australia. For more details and
the history of this case including the table of human rights violation see our
web site http://onevoice.freeservers.com/
On 10/10/00 the family Fyffe enjoyed just another police
raid on their property:
At night after 8 p.m. an approximately 60men strong force
consisting of the police, sheriff's officers and Police Special Operations
Group appeared on his land.
Brian Fyffe was handcuffed, arrested and charged with making
threats to kill and with multiple firearm offences as it was alleged that guns
were found on his property.
In a previous police raid - conducted by the Special Operations
Group and attended by the media, helicopters, horses and dogs - the police found
modified clocks and batteries in the house. Brian Fyffe was charged with
possession of explosives under suspicious circumstances, referring to the alarm
clocks. His family was also arrested (see details on web site).
The clocks found on Brian Fyffe's property were being modified
by the youngest son, Joe, who was an apprentice diesel mechanic at the time, for
use as watchdogs on diesel irrigation motors. This was done for the purpose that
the clocks can shut down a motor at a certain time in the night, without someone
having to get out of bed.
Brian Fyffe was held without bail in custody without a trial for
10 months. 18 serious criminal offences were dropped when the matter was finally
heard. The charges for possession of explosives under suspicious circumstances
were upheld despite that no evidence of explosives, detonators or anything
connected with explosives had been found on the property. Although it turned out
in the end that the Fyffe family suffered a wrong the Australian Government
refused to compensate him.
What are the implications of the Fyffe case in
Australia?
There is indeed an alarming situation in Australia due to the
precedent set by this case:
The legal authorities in Australia must find any one in the
possession of an alarm clock or a similar device guilty of having the
intention to build a bomb in order to avoid discrimination.
People in disputes with their business partners, neighbours
or with banks, governments, government departments, or any other Australian
authority, when found in possession of alarm clocks or similar devices are
guilty of being potential bombers and a serious threat to the national
security.
Consequently every civil court case in Australia where the
parties are in possession of alarm clocks or similar devices becomes a
criminal matter and in some states is subject to mandatory
sentencing.
Considering the amount of alarm clocks and similar devices in
use in Australia, this country is in danger to develop into a convict
nation.
Unless the Australian Government appoints a Minister with the
portfolio for alarm clocks and similar devices and legislates retrospectively
the possession and the use of the above via licensing (like guns), Brian Fyffe
is entitled to an effective remedy for the violation of his rights under the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
It is however a sad fact that human rights are not implemented
into the law in Australia such failure causing the country to be an outsider by
modern democratic standards.
Mason CJ, previous Chief Judge of the High Court in Australia
expresses this situation, when he said:
"Every democratic, industrialised country except
Australia has legal protection of rights, including the right to equality,
of one kind or another".
Because of the fact mentioned above, the Brian Fyffe case is
just one of many serious cases
