Is Maurice Kirk doomed to die in Prison? Refused Glasses, Bail and any other Human Rights…

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Maurice has been in prison since 22nd December. On remand. But without any charges in writing. There had been a warrant for arrest for him and he was arrested when he was attending a hearing for the Musas whose six children were stolen by Haringey Council, after he had been helping them as a McKenzie Friend.

Since December, he has been trying to apply for bail, while attempting to proceed with his other litigations. However, he was

  • more or less forced to accept legal representation
  • sufficiently outraged to go on hunger strike for these reasons strike:

a) I have been refused the right to apply to any Crown Court  (Wales or Bristol) for bail in the past six months  – why? CPS/Police have to be tape recorded as to why they oppose bail and they have no valid reason.

b) I have had adjournments from (the Bristol court) for Medical and brain scan. Following my questions in court it was clear the judge had not read the appeal file we had prepared . He also admitted not knowing that  MAPPA disclosure was the major issue. He never read past the first three pages of full Lever Arch file.

Needless to say, I am refused a medical in HM Prison and the brain scan because ‘they’ lose what ever the verdict.

Here is his current position statement.

Yesterday he was in court and ‘served’ with paperwork. But he threw the papers back, as he was refused glasses by the Prison, the Clerk of the Court and the Judge!

Some call it “Justice” and the “Right to Fair Trial”: Draconian Prison Conditions to Stop Litigations

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

You can tell from Maurice’s recent phone calls

  • how frustrated he is
  • how impossible it is for him to defend himself as Litigant in Person
  • how Prison, Police, Courts and Judges in South Wales all seem to act in unison to give him as hard a life as possible – only for one reason alone: to cover up rather than to admit to ‘mistakes’ not to call them crimes – just like… Haringey Council in the case of the Musas whose six children were stolen and whom Maurice was helping such that he became a hero in African papers!

The less and less Credible Rule of Law and the Cruel Power of Law Enforcement

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

The Law is only as good as the integrity of those entrusted to administrate it.

Maurice sprayed his insight on the wall of his veterinary surgery in Guernsey, over twenty years ago.

When I last spoke to him, he seemed less willing to believe in ‘the right judges’ and ‘the right politicians’ being able to ‘sort things out’ such that The Rule of Law rules again.

In my analysis the Rule of Law and the Rule of Money have undermined people’s thinking and their values to such a degree that it is safe to always assume the worst, for people are ‘just doing their job’ – the only explanation I could find for myself to rationalise what had happened in Nazi times.

Now we are seeing how Police, Prison officers and, above all, Social Services are ‘just doing their job’, i.e. following other people’s orders.

The orders come from employers, judges, court clerks, HMP Governors and the Crown Prosecution Service.

The result:

  1. Maurice has been held ‘on remand’ since 22nd December
  2. He is not being given a reason for his arrest in writing
  3. He is prevented from applying for bail, for the CPS would have to state such reason
  4. He cannot pursue his dozen or so court cases, in particular the one to challenge South Wales Police for their twenty years of harassment, for Wales would like their own judiciary
  5. If Maurice was to win his case against South Wales Police, London might not support an independent Welsh judiciary…

I may have read too many Enid Blyton books when I was a girl. But I never imagined I’d have to ‘fight’ this sort of ‘adventure’: to show up people in power positions as being not just dishonest, but plainly criminal. It wouldn’t worry me, if they didn’t have the power to ruin people’s lives – without any chance of any compensation or redress!

For human rights have become meaningless. Unfortunately.

Another “honey trap”: Maurice was asked to be witness so he could be arrested

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Norman Scarth called it a “honey trap” when he was lured out of his flat to be arrested.

Maurice is interested in the Musa case, for he has seen himself that Social Services were going to take his daughter, if his wife didn’t sign a certain document…

Maurice has contributed to the Musa case as a McKenzie Friend in Clint Eastwood style. But when the Met Police phoned to ask him to be a witness in Wood Green Crown Court, they used the occasion to arrest him. The reason was a supposed “Restraining Order” that he has never seen. He had received a phone call about a “warrant for arrest” being out, based on this mythical restraining order. Continue reading →

Fabulous letter by Welsh whistleblower in support of English prisoner in Cardiff

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Dafydd Morgan has been there himself: false imprisonment and sectioning. Now he writes this fabulous letter to a most remarkable list of official recipients. May it inspire you to follow suit! Maurice has lost 20 kg since he entered prison on 23rd September.

To Whom It May Concern:

Maurice J Kirk BVSc
Veterinary Surgeon
Tynewydd Road
Barry

There is an old saying: “When in a hole, stop digging”

I am given to understand that Maurice Kirk whilst being held against his will at Cardiff Prison, has yesterday been sectioned under the mental health act and is due in Court tomorrow for further directions surrounding such matters.

Can we Prevent the Magistrates Court in Cardiff from “Sectioning” Maurice into Oblivion?

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

By now there are enough whistleblowers around to recognize the pattern of oppression. But how many will have to go through these horrible experiences before things change???

With this letter Maurice empowers and authorizes the bearer to act on his behalf.

The court has appointed a solicitor on his behalf, to cross-examine Dr T Williams and other witnesses.

But will the hearing take place at all on Tuesday, November 29th?

Or will it just be used to “section” Maurice and send him to a psychiatric prison as Dr Williams tried already in 2009?

More on his own website.

It’s the Whistleblower Treatment: first prison, then sectioning, to avoid trials of “landmark cases”, especially juries!

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

The more cans of worms I open, the more I do wonder where our efforts will lead to. But, as The Psalm of Life by Henry Longfellow reveals most beautifully, it’s not about achieving a goal: it’s about our footprints in the sands of Time… and the fibers of the web!

Maurice apparently is enduring the treatment that other whistleblowers have suffered:

  1. prison to isolate you
  2. sectioning to a mental hospital to break you psychologically and mentally
  3. to avoid all trials in court, especially before a jury.

Complaining to Wales Office about unlawful and inhuman imprisonment

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Dear Ms Davies

Following Ms Tyzack’s conversation with you, this is to complain on behalf of Mr Maurice Kirk BVSc who is being unlawfully imprisoned in HMP Cardiff (no A 7306 AT).

He has not been given a statement with his charges or release date, ever since he was arrested on 21st September 2011.

Furthermore, his prescribed medication has been denied, and his bleeding ulcers that need an endoscopy have not been treated. Currently, he is bedridden again and requires a wheelchair as he cannot walk any more.

Maurice was Freed by Highbury Court, to fend for himself on crutches, with a bag of ‘prison goodies’ after the Court Usher had lied to me

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

Freed from HMP Cardiff, Maurice had been re-arrested, because a ‘warrant for arrest’ by the Metropolitan Police was out for him: he had not turned up in Highbury Court. Too bad that the ‘Discipline Officer’ of HMP Cardiff didn’t see that appointment. They would have had to produce him in Higybury court!

Did the cuts in public spending lead to saving a trip to London, whilst in HMP Cardiff? Or did HMP Cardiff want to hold onto Maurice longer than Monday 28th November?

On Friday, I was told by a supporter that he had left Cardiff at 10am in a prison van. In Highbury Court, they didn’t have an estimated time of arrival yet.

Nobody would imagine that a Court Usher would lie, unless you are a ‘seasoned victim’.

I’m not seasoned yet. I should have asked three different people in court to get to the truth!

And thus I went home in the afternoon, expecting Maurice in court on Saturday as I was told.

Instead he rang the bell after having had to drag his rather heavy and big plastic bad of “prison belongings” behind him across the stairs of three tube stations, being very weak and unstable on two crutches…

Money and phones had been confiscated and not returned. But he had his computer and legal papers back from South Wales Police who had taken them from his car!!!

Here is Butlin Cat’s account who supplied the picture.

The Denials and Cover Ups of Royally Protected Criminals

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Sabine Kurjo McNeill

If it wasn’t so tragic for the victims concerned, it would be a farce and a comedy:

  • the 27 allegations that Haringey Council invented to criminalise the Musas as VICTIMS of child snatching.

Maurice helped them, because in 2009, Social Services had threatened his wife to take his daughter into “care”, when blackmailing her into playing along their false imprisonment and incarceration in Caswell Clinic.

It is most unfortunate that he ended up in prison since 21st September because of that involvement. But that is NO reason whatsoever

  • for NOT getting his bleeding ulcer attended to
  • NOT getting his prescribed medication
  • NOT getting the endoscopy that the Princess of Wales hospital was going to do on him
  • for 17 prison officers dragging him from the hospital to the punishment wing
  • and for prison officer 395 saying to him “we will break you f…ing b..t..d”

On Monday, Maurice had left this on my ansaphone…

The prison chaplain on Tuesday didn’t want to believe me and called me back asserting Maurice’s “aggressive behaviour”, another chaplain called this morning when this conversation was recorded. Maurice keeps talking about HM Partnership: the close co-operation between HM organisations that are protected by Royal Charters. They  have been protecting organisations from prosecution ever since they started in 1067 – with the City of London! The Bank of England and the Law Society followed suit!…
