We have spoken in some length with the Ottawa Commission for Police Complaints. This was one of the last emails that were sent to them and their response is below. We have not received a response back from Ottawa this year. Where did they disappear to? No one has showed up and talked to us!
Department of Justice Canada
One day in
July, 2007, a woman identifying herself as Beatrice Miller called Tony Anderson
and Jeff Fraser on the telephone. Initially she spoke to Tony Anderson and
shortly asked for Jeff Fraser.

----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 5:24 PM Subject: Info The Department of Justice works to ensure that Canada’s justice system is as fair, accessible and efficient as possible. The Department helps the federal government to develop policy and to draft and reform laws as needed. At the same time, it acts as the government’s legal adviser, providing legal counsel and support, prosecuting cases under federal law, and representing the Government of Canada in court.The Department’s responsibilities reflect the double role of the Minister of Justice, who is also by law the Attorney General of Canada: in general terms, the Minister is concerned with the administration of justice, including policy in such areas as criminal law, family law, human rights law, and Aboriginal justice; the Attorney General is the chief law officer of the Crown, responsible for conducting all litigation for the federal government.

Attention:
Mrs. Marg Collicut,
Chair
For Your Most Urgent
Attention: Police Harassment Continues!!!
As a follow up to the letter
we sent your office on Tuesday December 11, 2007, there has been a new
development. I will not go into the particulars of the charges, but today,
Sunday December 16, 2007, the Bridgewater Police Department issued and
served to me a Notice to Appear, on January 16th
next. The charges, which are of course totally fabricated, have been laid
under sections 334(b)ii, 733(1)cc & 355 (b)(ii)cc
of the Criminal Code.
Here is the irony of this. I was told by your Department, that should such harassment keep occurring, there would be a legal representative assigned to us from your department to handle such matters. As of today, we have still received absolutely no word of any action by your department to appointment legal counsel to us.
My business partners and I consider this latest attack by the Police has put me personally into a harmful and potentially very dangerous situation. I do not wish to spend Christmas in jail, and these people are fully capable of doing this to me! Also, I submit the timing of the serving of the charges has been done with deliberate malicious intent!

Subject: RCMP Ottawa Date: December 10, 2007 12:41 AM Subject: RCMP Ottawa To whom this may concern, I am writing this email as a follow to a conversation I had on November 30 with XXX XXXX.

I wanted to confirm that the information is factual, and inquire as to when it is that the above mention lawyer would be in contact with us. It has been a week now since we spoke last, and I would appreciate it If you would please send me confirmation via email. This situation has been on-going for close to 2 years now. We have not been able to find any help or representation during this time. We all feel that their has been many people and organizations involved in the case who have made many commitments & promises, but, to date, delivered nothing. We are left here in the dark, while this situation continues to deteriorate and worsen. So far nothing that we can see is moving. We are still being victimized and continue to be harassed from the local police. We live in a small rural town and their isn't much in the way of support around here. We need action and we need answers. So far all we have herd is words. We would appreciate some type of commit on your part. We need someone to help us now. 2 years is long enough. Phone 902-XXX-XXXX, Cell 902-XXX-XXXX tank for all your assistance, Jeff Fraser |

Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in many countries. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
