February 87

Moved from Berlin to Montpellier, application for residence permit, rented a holiday apartment.

March 87

Rosa was born in the Maternité (hospital) Montpellier; authorities refused to give her French nationality.

February /May 87

Many efforts to get administrative problems resolved; often ridiculed by French authorities.

May 87

After taking part in a course on creating a company the authorities were obliged to issue a residence permit. A higher person of the regional administration drives into my car.

Riitta insisted to give Rosa the Finnish nationality, refused to contribute her money to pay for long-term accommodation. At that time she was probably under the mental control of French authorities. There exist other opinions, for example that she never wanted to live in France for a longer time. Certainly some of my own relatives did not want me to live in France. Riitta as an agent of the Finnish foreign ministry!) obviously had also this intention, contrary to her previous agreement with me.

A day before the residence permit should have been issued, Riitta provoked a conflict and became hysteric, probably also because of French psychological terror. The French police tried to interfere with the intention to create more stress and to use the incidence to withhold the residence permit. I was systematically chased in Montpellier by French authorities and agents.

17 May 87

The police arranged to fly Riitta and Rosa to Finland. Riitta and Rosa were virtually kidnapped out of our apartment. I was ridiculed by the police and I was threatened to be locked up in a mental hospital. When that failed, I was forcefully kept in custody and terrorized in a police barracks in Palavas by several police men.

Petition to the European Parliament to be rendered justice. Afterwards, under extreme difficulties rent of a long-term apartment, but psychological terror continued.

The police officer responsible for the affair committed suicide (article in Le Monde).

July 87

Return to Germany to collect more belongings. On the way to the German frontier provocations by French police near Besançon, psychologically terrorized.

At the German border ridiculed by German custom agents. Systematic police control on my way to Peine. After arrival in Peine, went to the police station to ask for an explanation for the persecutions in France. Knowing the French anti-Nazi attitudes and having observed several provocations relating to the Klaus Barbie-process - the last time near Besançon by French police - asked if there where any connections between the difficulties experienced and the process. The policeman used the stressed situation and kept me in the police station. The local psychiatrist, Dr. Dobbek was called. The policeman lied to him, telling him I had some hallucinations. The doctor was surprised but still gave the order to keep me in custody in a mental hospital (Königslutter/ Braunschweig), where my brother is kept for a long time.

Oct. 87 - Nov. 88

Forced into this helpless situation, drugged even before being able to see a lawyer the only help came from a British friend. Because of the difficult situation decision to stay in Germany and to investigate into the affair. Only 4 months and after the apartment in Montpellier had been given up (I went myself to Montpellier with a student organized by the social workers of the hospital) allowed to leave the hospital to be moved to Hanover to a rehabilitation place. With the help of the social service against the intentions of my mother able to rent a flat. Taken up a course on programming.

Rescued to London. German lawyers Rüter and Michael Günther, both Hamburg, refused to defend my rights at the court Hamburg about the apartment. Contacted several embassies in London and asked for help. Contacted also Amnesty International but did not receive legal assistance. I still wrote to the court in Hamburg to send the mail to Amnesty International in London and I informed Amnesty about my addresses when I went to New Zealand and later on to France. Amnesty gave wrong information (and only by telephone call to the German authorities in Hamburg) who tried to mess up the court procedures.
