good materials. but both this and the aussi decision are almost 8 years old. we don't know how australia continues, if at all, to address the issue, and whether this immigration decision was an exception, or even retracted in a way. there has been a set back in this issue, all over the world. Since the USA is the leader, the backlash in recovered memory movement, case law, public awareness - has effected the international community. of course, if perps are now heading the white house, one cannot expect much progress on eliminating SRA.<br>Where would you apply for asylum theoretically ? its the same all over, except what we now have heard about australia, which is before the peak of Bush reign of terror.<br>There were amazing posts in the internet around 1999-2000 in Scandinavia, and it looked hopeful to me. Even in Israel, around 1999-2000 there were some buds of legal activity around SRA, I myself participated in a high level professional meeting convened by then deputy Attorny general of Israel. However, I see a huge decline with Bush (and following, in Israel, Sharon). As I said earlier, sometime, in 2000 I published an ACADEMIC paper having strong references to SRA/MC existence in Israel-USA. (since publication was admitted, I assume the editors were interested in the issue).<br>---<br>I know first hand that Canadian IRB (Brittish Columbia) are well versed in the matter, they have had victims of SRA/MC as political asylum applicants, but from what I saw, they are doing something rather unethical, instead of taking it "head on" to IRB decision, they are "selling intel" on the issue of other countries intel agencies and activists. Someone should look into that matter at some point, I believe. <br>---<br>I stlil think the key to a successful legal decision lies in the USA, perhaps post the Bush era. In Europe, Germany would be the best pick, politically, to attack on aiding and abetting SRA. Its just a hunch, they are more vulnerable politically to such accusations. You might get information from orgs in Berlin, dealing with psychiatric abuses, they have made an application to Amnesty International, and there's stuff being done there. I think the orgs website is IAAPA.DE or something like that. One of their main chief leader in Berlin, is also member of Green party or another radical party. I was briefly involved in their work, just on a side issue, and I thought it was politically brilliant to form an alliance bn German and ISraeli activists on such "nazi" issues, as they manifest in both countries. its a winning combination in terms of public relations. <br> <p></p><i></i>
