I should call myself – REFUSENIK – the person refused fair trial and in the most blatant way having my human rights abused by Queensland legal system .

My struggle for justice became the classical case of the fight against the perfidy of the people in the legal system ( Queensland , Australia ) where all elements - police , prosecution , trial judge and the defence lawyers - cooperate to achieve the conviction in the hassle-free way and then the supervisory ( judicial ) bodies rubber stamp their achievement .
