The Israeli Abu Ghraib ?
They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.

"(The beatings) were not done to gather intelligence. They were done out of revenge,” said another whistleblower. “

„Is it over?“
„I think, I think Nutmeg did it!”
“So, did anyone get a wish now or-“
“Will you shut up about your stupid wishes, be glad that we’re alive!”
His monitor was still rebooting, but fortunately, his audio input has already been turned on again.
Slowly his vision began to re-appear again, and the Surgeon found himself leaning against a wall of the base. Right on time he got the internal message that his voice was working again as well.
“Status report.”
“Hey, he’s still alive.”
“Status report immediately. Get me up, that’s an order!” he repeated, the last words being in an increasing and static sounding volume.
Three of the Wrath soldiers immediately started to pull him up, only now did the Surgeon realise that a small part of his screen appeared to be faulty, but well, the few loose wires could be repaired again soon. The rest of his body appeared to have survived the whole ordeal rather mild, with only a few outer scratches and his coat being partly shredded. Which could not be said about the surrounding area of the Wrath base.
Stone, concrete, metal, other rubble, trash, and items were scattered around everywhere, with the base having taken damage.
He needed to act professional, there was no time to use emotions, what now was important, were logic and reasons to act properly, so he decided for himself, that acting like the machine he was, was in this instance properly for the best, as good as he could.
For a moment he considered to evaluate the property damage, but his standard protocol reminded him, that he had to check on all, lifeforms first. He needed to estimation of the situation. Pointing at yet another soldier, who was holding his arm that appeared to be slightly cut.
“You, what is the status of those who had been present during the incident?”
“M-me, well, most are doing ok, but I think the General got, thrown through the window and the Commander-“
Upon hearing the word “Commander” the Surgeon grew more active, approaching the soldier who just informed him, staring at him with his monitor, as if he was about to interrogate him, his relationship with Commander Grizzly was cool, but if he was injured, he needed to know. Grabbing the soldier at the collar of their uniform, he needed to know now!
“Where is the Commander?!”
“O-over there.”
The soldiers voice sounded almost like a squeak of a mouse, even though they were a lion, it mattered not, the Surgeon was pointed into the direction he had to move and released the soldier.
How lucky, that despite the whole situation being such a mess, Commander Grizzly appeared to be completely unharmed, yet unconscious. The Surgeon knelt, and quickly began to examine the bear that was out cold, it was a blessing how he was built with a bunch of medical tools inside of him, to check the heart rate, blood pressure or oxygen saturation for example.
“No apparent external or internal injuries. Unconsciousness trough shock. Risks estimated minimal. Recommendation. Confinement to bed, observation of status, if unchanged for more than 30 minutes, further check up is required. The Commander should be fine.”
Once again, his claws pointed at four soldiers, who apparently had enough time for chit-chat than to do something. Ah well, they would work now.
“You over there, get a stretcher, bring the Commander to his room, and put him into bed, he needs rest and time to recover. Bring the stretcher back. That’s a medical order!”
Without any questions asked the four soldiers did so as they were told, giving a salute, before moving into the base quickly.
How he gave that order, it made him realize something.
The Commander was out cold and would need a while until he had recovered, the general was, so far, he has heard thrown trough the window during the incident, so he was either way injured as well, or death. Which brought up a question?
Who was there to lead?
He didn’t move, but he felt cold, which should not be possible, he was, after all a robot, even if only for half an hour or longer, this could be a disaster. Without a leader the Wrath was as useful as a headless ostrich! Running around in confusion, they would be like an ants nest without their queen! The memories, of the past began to resurface,
The day when Carlos Rojas got blown into pieces.
No! He could not allow for something like this, or similar to happen, fortunately, he, the other voices in his memory and main frame and all the experience and knowledge he had, where already coming to a logical conclusion what had to be done.
“Soldiers, gather around, be attentive and listen-“
In mere seconds the soldiers began to form a circle around him, good, they were occupied in listening to him, there was no room for any inflammatory thoughts.
“With commander R- Grizzly and general Cottontail both out of commission, there is the need for a temporary leader. The logical conclusion, for the outcome of this incident needs medical authority and attention, is for me to temporary take the mantel as leader of the Wrath, until Commander Grizzly has recovered, which should be in estimated, one, or, two, hours. Objections will not be tolerated and will be reported to the Commander personally. Disciplinary actions are to be expected, is that understood?” No one said, or dared to say anything, giving only a cough, however, when he raised his hand, the soldiers surrounded him stood in attention. So far so good.
“Bring the serious injured to the medical bay, those with slight injuries, seek medical attention, if you feel fit for work, return and help with the now ordered clean-up operation. Those who are without injury, start working. Slacking and pretending will not be tolerated!”
The circle disbanded and they did what he has ordered them to do.
No objections yet, internally he was glad that he only had to do this for a few hours, he was not suited to be leader material, even if the other voices and programming re-assured him that this was an emergency scenario that needed his expertise.
“Surgeon, Surgeon we need you, it’s Cannelloni!”
It was the sound of Nutmeg, the Wraths chef cook of the canteen.
Upon hearing the name of the Wraths assistant cook spoken by her, he could already feel how his ventilation system increased, with the fans growing louder.
All of this was his doing, this whole incident was Cannellonis fault, all of this could have been prevented, if he had just listened to him!
But no, he had to let it go this far, and now look what he had done to the surrounding, to the base and most importantly, to this institution that the Wrath was.
Nutmeg was standing next to Cannelloni, who was laying there, in a slight crater, next to them stood Mellow Melon, the Wraths…hypnotherapist, and honestly, his system was not keen to see both. But well, he had to follow the standard protocol. Saving lives at all costs.
The young man, still with his gigantic soup can that had two eye holes cut out on his head, was laying there on the ground, where once the eye of the gigantic tornado was, he was alive, moving slightly, his head turning sometimes left and right and talking something. Delirium perhaps.
Nutmeg, the warthog was saying something to the Surgeon, something about him, needing to help the young assistant cook. Oh, he was going to help him, alright.
He knelt and gave him a check-up, outer injuries were minimal, however, there was the suspicion of a concussion. Mild degree, probably. By logical means, a more intensive screening would be needed to patch up the injured man.
The Surgeon clenched both of his claws.
However, it would not be him doing that, he would leave that to some other organisation.
For since the moment he had awoken, an internal part was already working on overdrive and came to one solid conclusion, that all systems agreed on, or at least those who were currently vocal enough.
Giordano “Cannelloni” Castellani was a danger to the Wrath and needed to be removed without any further objections or second opinions. The longer the assistant cook was here, the more the risk increased of him pulling another stunt like this. He needed to be calmed down in the most effective way. Searching trough his damaged coat, he picked out a small syringe, he luckily always carried with him for…emergencies.
“Applying sedative to subject, estimated…25 milligram…correction…. adjustment…35 milligram should be sufficient.”
“Surgeon what are-“
He however ignored the warthogs concerns, after all, he was the Surgeon, he had the mind of a thousand doctors and a thousand more surgeons, so he knew, what he was doing, making sure Cannelloni was not going to damage the Wrath any further.
“To ensure the safety of the subject and its surroundings, a quick-acting sedative must be injected. Something, mind you, I have recommended to Mr.Castellani a while ago”
“What are you saying?”
Giving it no further thought, he rammed the syringe into the injured mans vein of his left arm, not with care or patience, but rather as quickly as possible, the young man flinched but in his pain and confusion could neither resist or express his discomfort. Then the Surgeon stood up.
“I am saying, that Mr.Castellani has ignored my recommendation to apply sedatives on himself until his condition would have turned better Miss Cinnamon!”
“You- you wanted to drug him, that was your solution?! He told me that you were not listening to him!”
“Until his condition would have improved, but I am aware that you hardly care for improvement in this matter Miss Cinnamon. If Mr.Castellani would have needed immediate attention, he should have filled out the appropriate form!”
His voice got more and more louder, increasing with every new word, growing more disoriented.
“Now Surgeon I-“
Mellow wanted to object to his comment, he could see that in their body language and how they had already started the sentence.
But he did no longer listen, he knew, deep down he knew that this was all his fault. He was more occupied in his own cynicism, frustration, and bitterness, that he simply was not interested that some random, little, Wrath employee was doing not well. And look what it had brought him, what it had costed the Wrath, but no, he could not admit it, it was logical, and with reason, that it was Cannellonis own fault, and now he had to pay for that.
This was not his fault, the others where to blame for this.
Leaving the small crater behind, he could hear Nutmeg shouting behind him and Mellow following as well, please, they were free to see how he would solve this problem, this inconvenience from which he had to cure the Wrath from.
Ten soldiers were preparing to remove more rubble as the Surgeon approached them.
“You two, go get the stretcher-“
Eight remained to command.
“-you wait for them where Mr.Castellani is laying, put him on the stretcher when they arrive-
Seven left
“-you two get me two, no, three fixation belts from the base ASAP.”
Five.
“-you and you, go get me Mr.Castellanis staff and medical folder. ”
Only three remained.
“-You go get me my stamps, do not fail to bring the red ink pad-
two and then it was over.
“-and the last two, get the van, you will be the driver and drivers assistant for today.”
“What do you think you are doing, who do you even think you are?!”
Ah, she was still here, they both where here as he could see, with Mellow apparently trying to calm Nutmeg down.
“I am now executing the consequences of your actions Miss. Cinnamon, you have neglected to inform me that your protegee had visible, clear, and increasingly dangerous signs of being mentally unwell. This incident would have been preventable if you had complied! -”
“You! You, I should-“
“Nutmeg, don’t it’s not-“
“-and now to you Mellow. I do not know where you have gotten your degree in Hypnotherapy, but apparently, they allow every charlatan to get one there. I am aware that Mr.Castellani has sought your help before me. You too neglected to inform me, and what weights heavier, is the fact that trough your meddling with his condition was what allowed it, to grow in such magnitude, as we have witnessed it today! Your work has turned this clearly, mentally unstable, and unfit to work man, into a danger for the Wrath!”
Unlike the warthog, who the Surgeon was certain would sooner or later in her anger against him, bash his head with a stone, the sloth had said nothing, merely looking to the ground after he had finished talking. One of the soldiers approached them, giving him a salute.
“Sir, we have gathered everything as you have told us.”
“Then let’s proceed. Gather the soldiers around Mr.Castellani.”
On the stretcher laid Giordano, with the sedative having taken effect, the chances of him fighting back where minimal, he continued to whisper something, but the Surgeon could have hardly cared.
“Belts.”
Without any resistance it was easy for the Surgeon to fixate the assistant cook on the stretcher, making Cannelloni unable to move, not even an inch.
“Stop!”
Turning around, he saw Nutmeg again, oh, this was getting, inadmissible.
“If you think I’m going to allow this any further, then you are wrong.”
“No, you are Miss. Cinnamon.”
Looking back at Cannelloni, he switched his attention to eight soldiers, giving them a sign, calling for their attention.
“I believe, Miss Cinnamon would like to take a break, and surely, would appreciate some company. Weapons locked and loaded when you guide her to her room, that’s an order. Oh, and take our so-called hypnotherapist with you. Further contretemps are not acceptable!”
He could hear the clicks of rifles and guns, yet, from one moment to another he felt how he got grabbed on both of his metallic shoulders. Nutmeg just stared at him, with uttermost disbelieve and disgust against him, why was it so hard for her to understand, that everything he did was for the best of this organization, and Cannelloni?
“You can’t do this, he is sick, he needs our help, please…he’s lost and scared!”
He heard her pleading voice, and he could see how pained she was by what he was doing, yet, by his own conclusion, there was simply, no other way.
“Sick or not, it is for our own safety and Mr.Castellanis as well, he needs to be removed from this environment as much as you need to be removed from my sight of vision!”
He saw the flame in her eyes and wondered, if this would be the end of his monitor, certainly he could be reactivated, they already did when he put himself out of commission once. Would she do it, she was aware what she was putting at risk if things would escalate. In the best case only she got injured, in the worst case a stray bullet could hit someone innocent, or perhaps even, Cannelloni.
As she lowered her head, she, Mellow and the soldiers he ordered to accompany them, started to move, only for one last moment did she stop walking.
“I will never forgive you what you have done today, Surgeon, NEVER!”
“If this is the price, I have to pay to ensure the safety of us all, then I accept.”
Finally, silence, he knew, that what he did went against certain principles, many, that he had just broken, but, for the safety of many, it was, acceptable, the Surgeon told himself. He didn’t have to take a life again after all, this time, all he did, was sending one broken soul, away.
Canneloni, fixated on the stretcher still was on the floor, so he ordered four soldiers to come and one to open the car trunk of the van. Then he gave another sign, the soldiers standing in attention.
“Listen and listen well. Today, Mr.Castellani has proven to be a danger to himself, but most importantly to us all, the Wrath. Mr.Castellani is clearly, mentally unwell and hereby, by my orders as doctor and temporary leader, send away from this site, forever.”
Pointing at the three soldiers, who where responsible in getting the folders and the stamps, they approached him. His monitor twitched, he knew, when he would take this step, there was no turning back from that. But for the safety of everyone here, maybe even for the rest of the world, he had to do it, that is what he told himself, what his processor told him, so it had to be true. No emotion, only logic and reason, as intended, it was like this, wasn’t it?
There where a few whispers, he could not hear what was said, but they quickly went silent when he raised his voice again.
“Mr. Castellani will no longer work for us-“
He looked trough his stamps until he found the correct one, then proceeded to open the staff folder, pressing the stamp firmly into the ink pad he stamped trough the folder six times, the very same word, to make sure it was clear.
“Unemployable”
“- in fact, he is never going to work again.”
Next, he took the medical folder, looking through it for a moment before taking out a pen he wrote on a notepad inside of the folder a few remarks about Giordanons condition, before putting it back into the medical folders. The Surgeon, without hesitation took both and placed them on the now former assistant cook’s chest, who, in his sedated state did not notice.
“Put him in the van.”
Four soldiers picked up the unresponsive Cannelloni, starting to shove him in the back of the vehicle. The two, he had ordered before to be the driver and assistant, approached the Surgeon.
“W-where should I take him Sir?”
“Bring him to the Medics, if the data in the medical folder is correct, they have released him before he joined us, if they have found him- “
Approaching the door of the car trunk, he personally, despite only having claws instead of hands, closed the tailgate of the car.
“-then they can have him back! Return to sender!”
He gave Cannelloni one final glance through the window.
“Farewell Mr.Castellani, may you find your purpose-
He already started to walk away, as sooner as the troubled man was gone then the better.
“-somewhere else where you can not cause any further damage.”
He could hear how the car engine started, the wheels began to roll, and soon the car was driving away, turning smaller in his vision, before it had vanished entirely. For a while the soldiers stared too, and the Surgeon thought that maybe he had to order them to get back to work, but to his own surprise, they did so themselves.
Good, now he could give Commander Grizzly a visit to make sure he was stable, and if he had done that, then maybe he would also give General Cottontail a visit, if he was still alive.
Before going, to the base, there was one last order he gave, not to the soldiers, but to himself so that his internal systems would execute them, without any questions, it would be done.
“Deleting, all data, related to, value and name, “Giordano Castellani”
The End.

This is not the first time this has happened either:
[Jul 16 2024] Berlin police is arresting children at pro-Palestinian demonstrations, in what activists say is a shocking escalation of already widespread police violence against pro-Palestinian voices. The most recent confirmed arrest of children involved the early June detention of a 7-year-old boy for allegedly hitting an officer’s helmet with his flag. In a witness statement shown to The New Arab (TNA), the boy's father said he had been carrying his son on his shoulders at a march when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by officers who lashed out at the crowd and then took the pair away to a police van. The police confirmed via email that a 7-year-old was arrested on suspicion of "assaulting" a police officer at the same protest in Berlin. Police told TNA that six children under the age of 16 were detained on June 8.   In a video posted on social media, the child can be seen screaming in a state of extreme distress while he and his father are surrounded and grabbed by 11 officers in riot gear. The father says the child now experiences anxiety and needs psychological treatment because of the incident. In another incident on the same day, a 13-year-old was handcuffed and dragged away by officers using a controversial "pain grip" after making a rude hand gesture to a police officer. Berlin police have confirmed that a 13-year-old was detained "on suspicion of insult," which is a criminal offence under German law. A few weeks earlier, on May 29, an incident was reported where two adolescents were punched in the face several times by police officers at a house entrance in Sonnenallee street in Berlin. This incident of police violence was condemned by Amnesty International Germany, and urged an investigation into allegations of unlawful police actions.

Human Rights Committee General Comment 35, Article 9 (Liberty and Security of Person).
Tumblr media
International human rights law provides a clear and universal framework relating to detention, enshrined by the following standards:
United Nations CCPR/C/GC/35.
The right to take proceedings for release from unlawful or arbitrary detention.
Paragraph 4 of article 9 entitles anyone who is deprived of liberty by arrest or detention to take proceedings before a court, in order that the court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of the detention and order release if the detention is not lawful. It enshrines the principle of habeas corpus. may, in appropriate circumstances, be limited to review of the reasonableness of a prior determination.
The right applies to all detention by official action or pursuant to official authorization, including detention in connection with criminal proceedings, military detention, security detention, counter-terrorism detention, involuntary hospitalization, immigration detention, detention for extradition and wholly groundless arrests. It also applies to detention for vagrancy or drug addiction, detention for educational purposes of children in conflict with the law and other forms of administrative detention. Detention within the meaning of paragraph 4 also includes house arrest and solitary confinement. When a prisoner is serving the minimum duration of a prison sentence as decided by a court of law after a conviction, either as a sentence for a fixed period of time or as the fixed portion of a potentially longer sentence, paragraph 4 does not require subsequent review of the detention.
The object of the right is release (either unconditional or conditional) from ongoing unlawful detention; compensation for unlawful detention that has already ended is addressed in paragraph 5. Paragraph 4 requires that the reviewing court must have the power to order release from the unlawful detention.132 When a judicial order of release under paragraph 4 becomes operative (exécutoire), it must be complied with immediately, and continued detention would be arbitrary in violation of article 9, paragraph 1.
The right to bring proceedings applies in principle from the moment of arrest and any substantial waiting period before a detainee can bring a first challenge to detention is impermissible.134 In general, the detainee has the right to appear in person before the court, especially where such presence would serve the inquiry into the lawfulness of detention or where questions regarding ill-treatment of the detainee arise. The court must have the power to order the detainee brought before it, regardless of whether the detainee has asked to appear.
Unlawful detention includes detention that was lawful at its inception but has become unlawful because the individual has completed serving a sentence of imprisonment or the circumstances that justify the detention have changed. After a court has held that the circumstances justify the detention, an appropriate period of time may pass, depending on the nature of the relevant circumstances, before the individual is entitled to take proceedings again on similar grounds.
“Unlawful” detention includes both detention that violates domestic law and detention that is incompatible with the requirements of article 9, paragraph 1, or with any other relevant provision of the Covenant. While domestic legal systems may establish differing methods for ensuring court review of detention, paragraph 4 requires that there be a judicial remedy for any detention that is unlawful on one of those grounds.139 For example, the power of a family court to order release of a child from detention that is not in the child’s best interests may satisfy the requirements of paragraph 4 in relevant cases.
Paragraph 4 entitles the individual to take proceedings before “a court,” which should ordinarily be a court within the judiciary. Exceptionally, for some forms of detention, legislation may provide for proceedings before a specialized tribunal, which must be established by law and must either be independent of the executive and legislative branches or enjoy judicial independence in deciding legal matters in proceedings that are judicial in nature.
Paragraph 4 leaves the option of taking proceedings to the persons being detained or those acting on their behalf; unlike paragraph 3, it does not require automatic initiation of review by the authorities detaining an individual. Laws that exclude a particular category of detainees from the review required by paragraph 4 violate the Covenant. Practices that render such review effectively unavailable to an individual, including incommunicado detention, also amount to a violation. To facilitate effective review, detainees should be afforded prompt and regular access to counsel. Detainees should be informed, in a language they understand, of their right to take proceedings for a decision on the lawfulness of their detention.
Persons deprived of liberty are entitled not merely to take proceedings, but to receive a decision, and without delay. The refusal by a competent court to take a decision on a petition for the release of a detained person violates paragraph 4. The adjudication of the case should take place as expeditiously as possible. Delays attributable to the petitioner do not count as judicial delay
The Covenant does not require that a court decision upholding the lawfulness of detention be subject to appeal. If a State party does provide for appeal or further instances, the delay may reflect the changing nature of the proceeding and in any event must not be excessive.

of course my heart goes out to all those in fear and pain in the US right now. and we will offer them all the support and care we've also offered to marginalised people dealing with fascism in Italy, Hungary, Poland, Argentina, South Korea, India, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Canada, Saudi Arabia...we care equally about those folks, right?
people keep being like 'omg is everyone ok how's everyone feeling' it's not my fuckin country nor is it a massive surprise. sucks for Americans, of whom I am not one, and I'm sorry for that and sorry for you, this must be very scary, but I cannot IMAGINE why people are worried about OTHER BRITISH PEOPLE'S emotions on the topic.
btw the government of Germany basically fully collapsed today how are we all feeling about that? do we need a self care moment about that? since we're so emotionally invested in genocidal foreign governments?
#red said#those is ultimately the thing that frustrates me. not that Americans are upset by the rise of open fascism in their country#that's a reasonable thing to be upset and frightened and angry about#but like#for those of us not in the US i accept that the US is a hegemonic juggernaut BUT#we could maybe stand to be more committed to solidarity with people who are already experiencing the things Americans are threatened with#and in many cases have been experiencing for years#like Poland flat out banned abortion in 2020. Canada has been actively conducting ethnic cleansing this whole time.#even in the uk like. clinics are being prevented from giving out new HRT prescriptions#Australia has an island where they hold refugees in a concentration camp and it was literally only last year that they agreed#indefinite detention without charge was unlawful#for 20 years France has banned women from wearing hijab and Muslim girls in France are now not allowed long dresses in school#Muslims in France have lost jobs for literally having beards or fasting on Ramadan#on the flip side of course in Iran women are banned from singing and dancing. and from travelling or working without male consent#Saudi Arabia is built on open slave labour and gives the death penalty to protesters#Russian and Israeli activists against their respective war crimes have been aggressively detained#and of course neither are great places to be gay#Indian hindutva has led a 10 year surge in ethnonationalist violence criminalised homosexuality etc#not trying to whataboutism this just saying that everything in Project 2025 has been enacted elsewhere already#and this is not a call to Americans to not complain or panic or talk about the likelihood of it happening to them#but to ask those of us elsewhere in the world to critique a tiny bit why it matters so much more when it's happening to Americans#why are we more united in panicking about the potential of violence in the US than the actuality of continued violence elsewhere#i get why AMERICANS are more worried about Americans than Palestinians or Indians or Hungarians or Poles#but despite what the vibe may be we are not Americans. I'm both physically and culturally closer to Poland or Italy than to America#and I'm not even going into countries where I'm like ehhhhh it's complicated and doesn't map easily onto a left-right divide#only at places which are moving away from human rights on these issues

He was immediately re-arrested on a charge at the instance of J. J. Power, KC, claiming non-payment of legal fees, and was taken to the sheriffs office, where it was understood the difficulty would be straightened out in short order.
"I thank God not so much that I am happy for my release, but that Canada has shown justice," said the Doukhobor chieftain as he left the courtroom. "I am encouraged there la justice in Canada." 
"At the outset I was and still am of the opinion that the prisoner cannot be deported or held imprisoned for deportation for what : think is a very obvious reason," said Mr. Justice Mellish's decision, "that his sentence or term of imprisonment has not expired within the meaning of the above section 4 of the Immigration Act. Nothing that has happened for the purpose of accelerating his removal from the country can in my opinion have that effect. On this ground alone 1 think the prisoner is entitled to be discharged" 
His Lordship then went on to consider the case more fully,
Unconditional Pardon Verigin's eighteen months sentence for perjury had been commuteed after he served half that seatence. "It is contended," said the judgment, "that the document is a conditional pardon. The right of the Crown to grant a pardon subject to conditions to undoubted. But they must be lawful conditions and not repugnant to the pardon itself."
The decision concluded: "If the prisoner has been pardoned and I do not think he could be discharged from prison except in exercise of the power of pardon, he cannot in my opinion be deported. Freedom from deportation is incident to the pardon, because deportation was incident to the imprisonment. In any case, the prisoner is I think unlawfully detained for deportation and must be discharged."
It was not immediately apparent what the elderly leader of the Christian Communities of Universal Brotherhood would do, but it was expected he would leave Halifax before long, and it is understood he wants to move from Canada but not to Russia. the country of his birth, where he would have been sent under the terms of the deportation order.
OTTAWA COMMENT OTTAWA, Feb, 25-  "So far as the Department of Immigration is concerned, Peter Veregin is a free man." it was stated here A. L. Jolliffe. Commmisioner of Immigration, when advised this morning of the outcome of the Doukhobor leader's legal action. 
Hon. Wesley A. Gordon. Minister of Immigration, will review the judgement and ascertain what, if any, action will be taken as a consequence.
