demanded in writing to allow me and my family members pass the medical examinations by initiating an appropriate decision with a
      proper letter and forms (Med1A.doc) submission - and was denied it. By then Immigration argued that only my wife must undergo
      medical examinations, and submitted a medical form (February 2000) for my wife only, omitting my daughters and me. Now again:
      they did not send us the form for my older daughter's medical exams. This is obviously another tool for sabotaging our case in the
      future. Knowing what my mother experienced with her "medical clearings" we could suggest that for us it would not be easy, too. By
      then my wife's medical exams will expire, and she'll have to do them again! Then Immigration could tell that now my older daughter,
      Ina, must undergo the medical exams. Theoretically, they can sabotage our case for eternity refusing us the landed immigrants'
      papers forever; in the same time making our life vulnerable, unbearable and miserable.
      My daughter and me - we went through the medical examination on October 31 2000. Doctor Giannakis told us that he found
      nothing to be concerned about. Next day after 5 p.m. I received an anonymous call - as I was told - from Immigration. A man told me
      that I might be punished for misconduct for not doing ordered by Immigration x-ray test and refusing the medical treatment. On
      November the 1-st, I did a x-ray test at the Montreal Chest Institute. I was told that everything is in norm and there is nothing to worry
      about. On November 2-nd 2000 - I received an anonymous ("private call" indication) telephone call from the Israeli consulate that our
      police clearings came. Why then Immigration told us that they were received on October 17.
      On November 6 2000, an anonymous (no names, telephones, signatures) letter from Montreal Chest Institute arrived. Addressing to
      me the letter said that my chest x-ray shows signs of a tuberculosis infection. "The Canadian Department of Immigration - the letter
      also said - has notified the Infectious Disease Unit..." - etc. It demanded to be prepared paying up to five hundreds dollars - and sign
      special legal document: a constat for infected by infectious disease non-residents of Canada. On November 9/then 15 I have
      submitted a letter in protest to the Montreal Chest Institute.
      The main points of my letter were:
      1) I will disregard this and other anonymous letters. 2) The procedural requirements were violated - because Immigration should
      submit it to me (my physician) but not to the hospital. 3) Violating them Immigration deprived me of my constitutional right to choose
      an institution where to do additional tests if required. 4) Because the hospital on behalf of Immigration ordered me to sign a constat
      and appear in Infectious Disease Unit I was wrongly treated as a TB carrier. They had no legal rights to treat me as a contagious
      carrier until an undeniable medical proof is established. 5) Medical ethics should not allow anybody to treat me that way before
      making conclusions based not on Immigration's rapport. 6) A single x-ray could not determine whether or not any shadow (if any)
      means tuberculosis, or simply any kind of pneumonia, bronchitis, or a combination (see medical books). Any conclusions based on
      only one x-ray are ridiculous, partial, and prejudicial. 7) On November 14 I did another x-ray. It revealed that there were no any
      suspicious shadow, no abnormalities - and (as my medical advisers told) could not be 2 weeks before, especially tuberculosis-like
      shadows. 8) By sending me to the Infectious Disease Unit they might expose me to contacts with real infected carriers. 9) Merely
      another x-ray should be initiated before doing anything else.
      10) I gave a number of reasons why I could not be infected by TB and made a suggestion that a) my x-ray photo was replaced by
      somebody else or b) Immigration's insinuations did not match the photo.
      On November 17 CDL MED LAB submitted me a receipt by fax pretending that I must pay for a blood test for syphilis, which they
      pretended I could do on October 31 2000 only at their site. However, I never did that test and even never was at CDL MED. On
      November 20 I received an (anonymous) call from Immigration and was accused of conceiving the fact that I was infected by aids
      when entered Canada! In response I have submitted a request by fax to the Reddy Memorial Hospital archive and telephoned there
      many times to receive copies of my blood and x-ray tests but there is still no answer. On November 28, 2000 Immigration ruled that
      there is a doubt that the x-ray from November 14 is mine. However, they received an original document from Clark LAB and had no
      legal rights to doubt it! They also pretended that not me but another person did this x-ray instead of me. However, the x-ray was
      covered by my medical card, which has my photo on it! Besides, Immigration is not a criminal court and has no power to make
      criminal verdicts. They are in a pure rage! They demanded the original of the x-ray made in Clark LAB (meanwhile, it is possible that
      Immigration informed MCI that the x-ray from November 1 was lost!). Further they insist that I must be referred to the chest specialist
      anyway!
      Rights of our children are severely violated. This is the seventh year they live in Canada without the status of residents. Their very
      basic, essential rights, and everyday life are affected! If what my advisors told me is true, this situation also violates international
      standards and Canadian laws: because children should not be deprived the landed immigrants status after 5 years and should not
      be left completely without any citizenship/residency papers. (Our children have no passports or even travel documents of any state).
      Ungrounded and illegal bureaucratic policy to keep us further in a limbo, in the frames of social, financial, professional, and legal
      devastation and deprivation is inadmissible. The everyday fear of deportation has already destroyed us. Because of that and many
      other situational, administrative, psychological, and etc. troubles and inconveniences, and intensive Immigration's pressure, we are
      destroyed, our lives are already ruined! Please, HELP!!!
      Demands in family GUNINS case:
      1. We need a clear answer in writing if Immigration received our police clearings. And if not - a) why; b) what must be done now.
      2. If the medical exams were affirmatively required for all family members - why Immigration did not initiated them for all family
      members six months ago? We also need an assurance in writing that Ina will not be required to do medical examination.
      3. We would like any other artificial delays in our case proceeding to be stopped. We also have right to know who is in charge of our
      file!
      4. If we will not be given the status of landed immigrants immediately, Immigration officials will completely destroy us.
      5. A criminal investigation must be initiated on the manipulation of the medical data.
      Demands in Elisabetha GUNIN (Epstein) case:
      There is only one demand: she must be given her landed immigrant papers immediately and unconditionally.

      From Lev GUNIN Full immigration story: http://www.total.net/~leog/Righs/LevGunin/indexX.htm
      former refugee claimant
      (address, tel. 514-49-1294, leog@total,net) December 6 2000
      Dear Sir or Lady!
      The most unpleasant thing is that in a country where there no concentration camps and common tortures nobody believes you.
      Nobody believes that what happens to you - happens. That's why it's even harder to stand our troubles.
      1. Let me mention briefly the source of our problems: I was a human-rights activist, former Soviet dissident (which led to deportation
      from my native Belarus to Poland). From there my family and I were taken against our will to Israel. In Canada we filed a refugee
      claim. Since 1994 we do not have normal life. We have problems.
      Usage (against us) of contrived medical data to manipulate and prolong our vulnerable situation is one of them.
      Theoretically falsification and manipulation of medical data can lead to a forcible treatment from diseases, which
      we do not have (it could be lethal).
      2. Now we are more then 6 years in a limbo, administrative mayhem and ultra-vulnerable state.
      However, in spite of human rights deniers in IRB and other departments, pro-Israeli lobby (with their people in Immigration), personal
      contribution of Immigration officer Mrs. Udith Malka in damaging our situation, we received a positive decision. (In response to our
      humanitarian appeal 1+ (one+) year ago). Since then opponents to this decision made many attempts to reverse it and make our life
      unbearable. We are still without any status, facing excessive hardship.
      (a). Even at routine immigration procedures we are a target of mockery, stalling tactics and humiliation (see Document 8).
      (b). Unnecessary personal expensive medical exams and blatant manipulation of medical data (Doc. 1-23), delays in issuing and
      short terms of validity of employment and student authorizations, punitive and threatening anonymous calls and letters (Doc. 1-6,
      specifically - 16). Excessive "totalitarian" secrecy and anonymity when Immigration is dealing with us (Doc. 10a, 13a, 1, 14, 15, etc.)
      (c). After two (2) years we have no clear answer about our police certificate clearance in spite of confirmation from the Israeli
      Consulate.
      (d). More than half a year ago IMS officials refused us ruling and forms for medical examination for all family members assuring us
      that only my wife must do them. Now in contradiction they ordered them for my younger daughter and me (omitting my older
      daughter). When the last medical exams must finish, the validity of my wife's exams will expire (Doc. 2, 19, 20). Also my mother's file
      was illegally attached to ours to put us in dependence of her situation (Doc. 1, 4, 6).
      (e). My mother's case. 1994: W. Brzezinska, M.D. for Immigration, makes an insincere report (Doc. 7a, 4b, 7b) about my mother's
      health (eventual (!) development of cardiac and kidney insufficiency). (My mother told her that she was born with heart
      augmentation). Nov. 1999: an immigration officer (M-me Roy), not a M.D. illegally intervenes in evaluation of the medical matters,
      makes a decision based on it (Doc. 7a,7b). However, she quickly replaces that decision - recognizing my mother's marriage. In
      violation of the marriage interview stage requirements IMS release a negative decision before med. exams (Doc. 7a). 2000: an entire
      year of mockery, ungrounded orders for innumerable additional tests and exams, punitive threatening letters and calls. Goals: a) to
      damage my mother's heath, b) clear dr. Brzezinska and M-me Roy (Doc. 14 -17). For two months after her "medical saga"
      Immigration was refusing to give any answer/explanation. Now (Dec.) IMS made a final negative ruling, based on Mrs. Bezezinska's
      insinuation in spite of new contradicting to it results and medical opinions (anatomy, not pathology). (Also dr. Brzezinska never in 5
      years sent my mother for cardiac or kidney tests, or to cardiologist/urologist, and never prescribed her any medication for
      heart/kidney problems). It is outraged that the whole year IMS was evaluating not actual but eventual health problems - and
      confirmed initial inhuman decision! (Doc. 25). If the horrible diagnosis (Doc. 25a), with which they crucified my mother, were correct,
      how could she live a normal life all 6 years without medications and cardiologist? If my mother's heath declined after one year of
      humiliations - Immigration officials must be fully responsible for that. This is what they did it to punish me!
      Actions to influence or even administratively invade medical institutions and personnel for extorting false medical reports, creation of
      false medical documents were committed in both my mother's and my cases. Tricks with my x-ray, delivery of receipts or calls for
      tests I've never done, other manipulations are threat to my own heath or even life! (Doc. 1-7, 9-25). Our children are tremendously
      suffering from that situation as well as from artificial delays in extension of their student authorizations and other essential papers.
      My wife and my mother became suicidal, nervous and suffering from depression.
      I never received any answer to my letter to the Minister of Immigration (Nov. 1-6 2000) and to Immigration Complain Board (Nov. 30).
      4. In spite of persecutions we have contributed to Canadian society as much as we could. We had no conflicts in civil life. We
      worked. We have accommodated in spite of artificial obstacles - thanks to ordinary Canadians. Even in Federal Immigration some
      people tried to compensate the damage, done to us by others. I have participated in tenth of musical festivals and events. My wife is
      a hard worker. Our children are recognized talented musician and ballerina (OTHER PUBLICATIONS

      former refugee claimant
      (tel. 514-49-1294) December 2 2000
      Introductory Note
      1. Because violations and injustice are so outraged and unbelievable that it is difficult to speak
      about them without emotions, I decided not to write a special description of events. Instead I
      am handing you over a number of documents, which will speak for themselves.
      2. Below I am listing these documents with comments and explanations about each.
      Manipulation and falsification of medical data is the most dangerous and tremendous violation
      of human rights. Most letters from Immigration were anonymous, but only few marked here on
      that regard as examples.
      Document 1:
      Complaint on Immigration actions and decisions submitted to Immigration Complain Board
      (like attempts to cause damage to victim's heath). Theoretically falsification and blatant
      manipulation of medical data can lead to a forcible treatment from diseases, which one do not
      have (it could be lethal).
      Document 2:
      Complaint against refusal to allow all my family members medical examinations.
      Document 3:
      My disagreement with the decision of Imm.Med.Serv. from November 23, 2000.
      Document 4-a:
      A shortened description of events, which manifested abuse of power, ungrounded secrecy,
      misconduct and criminal manipulation of medical data. Document 4-b is a supplementary
      description about the source of my problems. It is crucial for understanding the mechanism
      behind the persecutions.
      Document 5:
      Fifth is a copy of a complaint made to Montreal Chest Institute.
      Document 6:
      A wider description of events, with more astonishing and outraged details. This document is
      not enclosed but available on Internet: {www.interlog.com/~syedma/dstand/leo201127.html}
      Document 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d:
      M-me Roy's rulings: illegal intervention into medical matters by non-medic, violation of the
      procedural requirements of the marriage interview stage, prejudicial ruling of IMS before my
      mother's medical exams for the landed immigrant status.
      Document 8:
      Complaint to Immigration about extension's of employment authorization sabotage from May
      15 2000.
      Document 9:

      The anonymous letter from MCI mentioned in Documents 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Document 10-b:
      another letter (one page) demanding a donation to the Royal Victoria Hospital was included in
      the same envelope as the "TB letter".
      Document 11
      An order-receipt (payment) to pay for the blood test for syphilis, which was never done.
      Another document (Document 12) shows that dr. Giannalis uses this laboratory to evaluate
      test samples, taken at his office. The blood test for syphilis was not required by Immigration in
      my case. It was also mentioned that a patient must only appear for this test in the CDL
      Laboratories, in other words samples taken outside CDL Lab are not admitting for evaluation
      for syphilis.
      Document 12
      Strum creatinine test's form from CDL Lab form for my mother. The test was ordered by dr.
      Giannakis on Immigration's request and the result was: in norm.
      Document 13-a
      Front page of the IMS ruling from November 23 letter (received on November 28).
      Corresponds to Document 3. Also was mentioned in Documents 1, 4, 6. Document 13-b is the
      text of the internal part of the same ruling, addressing to dr. Giannakis.
      Document 14-a
      Ruling from IMS to my mother, Elisabetha Epstein from January 17 2000. This document is
      anonymous, no names, telephone numbers. Document 14-b is the text of the internal part of
      the same ruling, addressing to dr. Giannakis.
      Document 15-a
      Ruling from IMS to my mother, Elisabetha Epstein from June 30 2000. This document is
      anonymous, no names, telephone numbers. Document 15-b is the text of the internal part of
      the same ruling, addressing to dr. Giannakis.
      Document 15 plus
      September 2000 - letter from IMS ordering another urine test and then a visit to an urologist.
      Document 16
      An offensive letter from my mother's new immigration officer from September 18 2000.
      Document 17
      My mother's, Elisabetha Epstein, response (September 20 2000) to an offensive letter from
      Immigration (see Document 16).
      Document 18
      Copy of the positive response to our humanitarian appeal
      Document 19
      An order from January 11 2000 to my wife, Alla, to undergo the medical examination. Only my
      wife's name mentioned in this letter. This letter is a proof that refusing to include all family
      members Immigration stalling the completion of our file almost one year now.
      Document 20
      An order from October 26 2000 to me and my daughter Marta to undergo medical
      examination. Was submitted in contradiction with the previous Immigration's assurance that
      only my wife has to undergo medical examination.
      Document 21-a
      X-ray result from Le Centre Radiologique Clarke from November 14 2000, which tremendously
      contradict the Immigration's x-ray from November 01 2000 evaluation. In response to TB
      double-check request (see Document 21-b) it said "NIL ACTIVE". The film was evaluated by 3
      medical doctors, which came to the same "nil active" conclusion. I was seen and evaluated by
      2 medical doctors since October 29, who found the TB suspicion ridiculous.
      Document 22
      X-ray result from November 22 1994 from the Centre Hospitalier Reddy Memorial. On request
      of W. Brzezinska, M.D. if there is recent pulmonary infiltrate it said "no recent pulmonary
      infiltrate shown".
      Document 23
      Mr. Z. JAST's certificate for Immigration in relation to the x-ray dispute.
      Document 24
      Internet-links to two publications, which might accelerate persecutions.
      Document 25-a,b
      IMS final decision in my mother's case from Dec. 5 2000.
      Document 26
      Document 27
      List of "civil" events. Relates to our will to contribute to the society.

      COPY - DOCUMENT NUMBER ONE
      To Immigration's Canada Complaint Board
      (faxes: (780) 632-8101 (514) 283-8237) November 30 2000
      From Lev GUNIN (514-499-1294)
      This is the complaint on actions and decisions, which my advisers and I found inadmissible, like
      attempts to cause damage to my mother's and my heath. Theoretically falsification and blatant
      manipulation of medical data can lead to a forcible treatment from diseases, which one do not
      have (it could be lethal).
      .
      I submit you 5 documents. The First is this one. Second is a complaint against refusal to allow
      all my family members medical examinations half a year ago. Third is my disagreement with the
      decision of Immigration Health Services from November 23, 2000. Fourth is a shortened
      description of events, which manifested abuse of power, ungrounded secrecy, misconduct and
      criminal manipulation of medical data. Fifth is a copy of a complaint made to Montreal Chest
      Institute. Sixth is a wider description of events, with more astonishing and outraged details.
      However, because of the length of the Sixth document its submission by fax could be found
      offensive, so, please, tell me where to send it by post or e-mail.
      I would like to know:
      A) Who made all mentioned in six documents unjust decisions (names, position, what their role
      in my file).
      B) On what ground (law, paragraph, circumstances).
      C) Who made a decision, based on a single x-ray: to consider me a potential TB carrier and
      submitted it not to Mr. Giannakis, M.D. but to the Royal Victoria Hospital, depriving me and
      doctor Giannakis of a minimal choice to choose where to turn for further evaluation. Is the MCI
      radiology unit a part of IMS (ImmMedSrv)?
      D) If the x-ray film (made at MCI) could be obtained for copying. My legal advisers and me - we
      want to ask you to show it to us at 1010 St Antoine, Montreal. We want to check:
      E) If a) there is any technical defect or underwear shadow, which was offensively interpreted
      as "TB" b) this x-ray matches my body constitution c) an obviously normal result was blatantly
      interpreted as "abnormal". We would like to be given a permission to take this film or its copy to
      medical specialists to determine it.
      F) How all contradictions, deceptions, violations can be explained (each event).
      G) Examples: a) Half a year ago IMS officials refused to submit us ruling and forms for medical
      examination for all family members assuring us that only my wife has to go through them. Now
      in contradiction with what was said before they ordered my younger daughter and me (now
      omitting my older daughter) to do examinations. B) Why my mother's file was illegally attached
      to mine. c) How could so many ungrounded medical tests be ruled for my mother, keeping her
      more then one year (!) in limbo, etc.
      H) How all such decisions might be appealed?
      I) Has my mother and me same IMS agents or agents of the same unit? Who are supervisors
      of all agents, attached to our files (including Immigration Medical Services - IMS).
      J) How to reach them?
      K) If Immigration's agents (IMS included) are subjects of Criminal Code - or they are
      completely uncontrolled and impunitive.
      L) If they are not (impunitive) what is the way to complain about
      1. Deliberate damage of my (my family's) financial, social, and psychological situation.
      2. Criminal manipulation of the medical data
      M) How could I know if W. Brzezinska's M.D. rapport with a "concern" about my health
      presents not only in my mother's but in my file as well?
      N) Why my file is proceeding not on Montreal - as normally - but in Ottawa?
      I must warn you that I will contact police or RCMP in case of any further anonymous calls
      ("private call" indication) from Immigration and will disregard any letters, until they will not be
      signed and carry the name and phone number of the person who is responsible for the
      decision. All anonymous telephone calls, which accuse me of concealing a number of
      infectious diseases, must be stopped. Anonymous letters from hospitals on behalf of
      Immigration with same insinuations are unacceptable as well. I have also received a receipt for
      a blood test for syphilis, which I never did, from a Lab, where I never went. I was also called by
      two other laboratories, which pretend that I did tests for infectious diseases, and this is not
      true. All such provocation must be stopped immediately!
      .
      All 5 (or 6) documents must be evaluated to consider and answer my complaint. Please,
      answer all questions, which arise from the documents. I ask you to respond to this complaint in
      writing. However, another solution is just to consider my case as "finished" with no further
      demands. Will appreciate your cooperation.
      Yours,
      Lev GUNIN
