countries' cultural life. He's the author of novels, stories, poetry, contemporary and electronic music, works in history, essays, musicology,
music history, philosophy, etc. His articles were published in a number of newspapers all over the world.
In 1979-1986, Lev became an object of wide humiliations. He was beaten by somebody, who has links with militia (police) and KGB. The
authorities stood up in defense of the attackers. They persecuted L. GUNIN even more for bringing the attacker to trial. In another incident
he and his brother - they were hunted by two well-coordinated groups: mobsters, and a gang of youngsters. "Hunters" were also leaded by
militia (police). Later brothers GUNIN were interrogated by police /KGB men. Lev's brother Vitaly became a victim of secret medical
manipulations.
L. Gunin has multiple links with the cultural elite, famous personalities and dissidents in Moscow, St. - Peterburg (Leningrad), Vilnius,
Warsaw, and Belarus. He also has connections with the Western journalists in Moscow, and with representatives of the governments of the
Western countries.
1980-s. Because of persecutions L. GUNIN's decided to participate in the dissident movement. There are the main directions of his
dissident activities:
1. Participation in Human Rights movement and links with the most famous human rights activists.
2. Membership in underground literacy circles.
3. Defense of the Old City of Bobruisk from revelation and demolition.
4. Journalism and editorial functions for underground magazines.
5. Cooperation with forbidden (or unwelcomed) in ex-USSR NTS (People's Labor Union) and the National Front of Belarus.
6. Participation in the Jewish national movement.
7. Creation of ideologically independent and stylistically controversial music, prose, poetry, philosophy, and historical, political, and other
works.
1985-1989. A conflict erupted between leading by L. GUNIN group - and the powerful institution of Israeli emissaries to USSR, and
controlled by them Jewish political Mafia. (Their goals - devastation of the local Jewish cultural life, confiscation of huge aid from the
Western Jewish communities, and concentration of the propaganda of immigration to Israel - L. Gunin was fighting). He also confronted
three important personalities - Kebich, Alimbachkov, and Lukashenko. All of them became top political figures later: first one short before,
and the two others - after his departure from USSR (The 1-st one became the Prime Minister of Belarus, 2-nd - major of Bobruisk, and the
3-rd is the present dictator of Belarus).
.
His attempts to emigrate to USA or Germany - to save his brother's life - failed. All attempts to obtain an Israeli visa for permanent
residency have been failed, too. (By then practically everybody could easily get such a visa). Israelis did not want to allow him and his
brother to immigrate to Israel.
1991. After his brother's death, Lev started to cancel all steps of immigrating to Israel. He did not want to go there by then. Soon he
received an order from KGB to leave his native country for Israel. Soviet authorities sent us (family Gunin) all previously suspended visas.
We could not say "no" to KGB, but planned to escape from Warsaw to Germany. At the Central railway station in Warsaw, in presence of
L.Gunin's Polish friends, Israelis captured us, and took us to Israel by force. In Israel, Mossad (Shabbak) officers verbally accused Lev in an
attempt to sabotage the whole operation of bringing the Soviet Jews to Israel. Mossad approached him several times.
In Israel we faced next persecutions:
1) Israeli citizenship was thrust on us
2) Alla, Lev's wife, was abused, attacked, beaten, assaulted, and systematically discriminated against
3) Elisabeth, his mother, was abused, attacked, and assaulted
4) Children became victims of systematic humiliations and mockery
5) Lev himself was deprived in his rights. Israeli authorities denied him:
a) valid diploma equivalent
b) professional courses
c) rights to enter other courses or university
d) full and valid employment authorization
e) registration with the State labor exchange
f) tax exemption as all fresh immigrants were receiving
g) welfare when he was unemployed
h) proper and equal medical service
i) legal, and police defense
j) reduction of municipal taxes
k) authorization of departure, which is required in Israel to leave the country
l) etc.
He was beaten, abused, discriminated against. Israeli state radio called him an enemy. One of the leading Israeli newspapers suggested
that his works (essays, articles, etc.) must be destroyed. Innumerous and systematic draft board's orders to appear affected his normal life
and his (his family) financial situation.
During his life in Israel L. Gunin published a number of articles books in Israel, Lithuania, Poland, Moscow, and Germany, criticizing Israeli
government for human rights violations and fascist tendencies in Israel.
1994-1996. With an indirect Amnesty International's involvement we could come to Canada, and claimed a refugee status. To support our
claim we presented next types of documentary proof:
A. Legal documents
B. Documents, issued by Israeli government
C. Documents, issued by all kinds of Israeli institutions
D. Affidavits
E. Letters
F. Post receipts
G. Medical documents
H. Newspapers
I. Researches made by International committees and human rights organizations
J. Proof that in Israel we turned to innumerous organizations, institutions, police, court, and lawyers for protection
K. Our lawyer's documents
L. Etc.
Practically each statement, described in our refugee claim, was supported by the documentary proof. Only the list of documents' description
consisted of six pages.
1994-1997. In her translations, our lawyer's secretary/translator distorted all documents in our refugee claim. One of our two lawyers
submitted several messages to IRB in protest of some outraged events. He claimed that the IRB members took advantage of the distorted
translations, using them as a tool against us. IRB members used offensive, illegal methods against Lev. They interrogated only him. No
questions were given to other family members. IRB commissioners demonstrated their opinion that Lev GUNIN must be punished for his
ideological (political) views. Two members of IRB, immigration judges, gave the whole initiative to the third member, an immigration officer, a
Jew and - probably - Israeli, who only spoke. During our refugee hearings she manifested an outraged malicious hatred towards us, and
maintained close contacts with the Israeli embassy in writing, in our case. IRB members maintained the atmosphere of hostility and
arbitrary attitude towards us.
Denying our refugee claim, the IRB members not just acted unfair. Their negative decision was not just a refusal to recognize us as
refugees, but a declaration-manifest, which rejected the basic human rights in principle. In form of declaration, they denied in principle rights
to have an independent opinion, practice or not to practice religion, be protected by the state. IRB members claimed that if government
paid for immigrants' transportation, immigrants became the property of that government (a kind of commodity). IRB members also claimed
that police' and other institutions' refusal to give protection was justified if people had an alternative political /ideological opinion (even if that
opinion was not expressed to police). They claimed that we alienated Israelis by keeping controversial opinions, and refusing to change our
views. And so on...
The IRB's negative decision became not just a matter of our personal fate, but also a matter of human rights in general.
1998. In her speech in the Federal Court, Mrs. Murphy, the Minister's of Immigration representative, confirmed the IRB members' negative
attitude towards human rights, and also widened personal accusations against Lev Gunin, turning the question of our refugee status into
the question of his "inadmissible" (by whom?) ideological views. As IRB did before, Mrs. Murphy refused even to mention Alla Gunin,
Elisabeth Epstein (Gunin), and the children.
The Federal Judge, Mr. Dube, just copied Mrs. Murphy's and the IRB statements, refusing to evaluate arguments of the TWO sides. He
claimed that - because in their refusal to recognize us as refugees IRB members used the formula "no minimal credibility", - such cases are
automatically denied by the Federal Court. In reality, his decision was made in contradiction to another Federal Court judge's decision in our
case, and also contradicted the IRB's final (conclusive) decision. In that decision IRB agreed that some persecutions against us (they
called them "difficulties") could take place because we abused the Israelis by refusing to obey their demands to change our views. Mr.
Dube also revealed his partiality by distorting some important events and attacking our lawyer in personal. A person, whose name was also
Dube, was involved into negotiations between the immigration officer, Mrs. Malka, and the General Consul of Israel, in our case. We could
not find that person among the IRB headquarters' staff, or among other immigration divisions. All faxes were submitted to Israeli consulate
from Mrs. Malka, without mentioning any other name (s). However, the responses from the consulate were submitted to Mr. Dube. We feel
that this mysterious Mr. Dube has something what to do with the Federal Judge Mr. Dube.
IRB and Mrs. Murphy's accusations against us were such, which are the prerogative of the criminal court. They accused us so sharp as if
we were killers or terrorists. In reality we are innocent people, never accused in defamation, or fraud. In the same time, the way they acted
might be easily considered as a criminal offence.
We are appealing not just because of incredible injustice, but because the removal back to Israel means DEATH for us. If nobody in the
whole world could prevent it, it would mean that if people are deprived and innocent they might be kidnapped and taken to another country
by force. It would mean that demonstrative humiliations over human rights, such as the IRB members and Mrs. Murphy expressed, are
tolerated. There are rumors among UN staff that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights might be changed soon to fit to the brutal and
ultra-religious regimes' requirements. Please, do something for us before it happened!
The only way to save us is to help us in obtaining the permanent residents status in any civilized country. That could prevent our eventual
removal to Israel.
Please, help!

From Lev GUNIN, April, 1999
Dear Friends!
In 1991 I was deported from my native Belarus to Warsaw because of my political opinion.
Together with my family (wife and 2 children) and my mother I wanted to move from Warsaw
to Germany.
On the Central railway station in Warsaw we were captured by Israelis and were taken to Israel
against our will.
We were widely persecuted in Israel and were refused an exit vise during 3 and a half years.
In 1994 we managed to quit Israel and came to Canada seeking a refugee status.
In an outraged manner, openly accenting their rights for injustice, the members of IRB
committee refused us the status.
Deportation to Israel means death for me and members of my family.
The only solution is to start a legal immigration to Canada.
But we need travel documents to afford it because:
1) our Israeli passports have expired and to extend them is not possible
2) I asked the Israeli embassy to cancel my Israeli citizenship
We made an appeal to the Federal Court, but our appeal was automatically rejected
without any analysis of our file, just because of the formula that the Immigration and
Refugee Board used in their conclusive decision. In the Federal Court, the Immigration
Canada representative, Mrs. Murphy, expressed outraged accusations against me,
as if by claiming a refugee status and by criticizing the IRB decision I have committed
the most violent crime or was a terrorist.
Almost 5 years we (my family, and me) live under a threat of deportation,
under the wild persecutions of the Immigration Canada, institution, which
put the equal sign between my peaceful and legal human rights activism
against the former Soviet and Israeli governments' violation of human rights
- and terrorism!!!
Please, help us!
My best wishes,
Lev GUNIN
