Maurice kirk is being murdered, he is stuck in Sweansea gaol in dire need of a medical operation and he is being deliberately ignored by the authorities in the hope that he will die!

people die in police and prison custody every day in this country and it is just written off as "unfortunate".

In Maurices case it would be very fortunate for the criminal cabal of bent judges, lawyers, cops and probation personnel who have deliberately conspired to unlawfully lock him up on the word of an unqualified and discredited doctor.

They are doing this to prevent him concluding his civil case against the south Wales police because they know he will win it and that will be headline news across the country.

The only way to stop them is publicity, they really, really hate that.

If you would like to see Maurice released from the hell they have cast him into then please spare a little time to help him and call the prison, ask to speak to the governor and enquire about his health and wellbeing. If enough people put pressure on them they will have to do something about it.

Here are the contact details;

Thank you in anticipation for your help, this is where people power comes into it's own.

What is going on in HMP Swansea is outrageous. The authorities have been told over and over about the chronic persecution and victimisation Maurice, 69, has to suffer yet they do nothing at all.

Maurice’s sister writes today, Sunday 2 Nov, =

“It is clear that the staff in Swansea Gaol have been given orders to completely ignore requests from Maurice Kirk. This will have been done by MAPPA via the ‘governor’ in charge of security Andy Phillips who accused Maurice of assaulting him from his almost defunct wheelchair. Maurice was aware that at least two CCTV cameras would have recorded the event but this evidence was never used.

Adjudication was booked for last Monday (27th October) but the chairman of the Independent Monitoring Board was in and spoke with Maurice so it was delayed to allow Maurice to get a lawyer. Despite phone numbers supplied the Prison (MAPPA) refused to allow him to make a call to a lawyer. The  Wednesday was fixed for a hearing but again the IMB member was available; it was delayed again so witnesses could be identified. On Friday it was suddenly called when there was no independent witness (IMB report of Swansea for Yr  2012/13 mentions that frequently adjudications were held without them because of short notice). An internal governor was the adjudicator,(Jaeger). Maurice was denied access to a lawyer, CCTV evidence and the witness he wanted to call was called by the Prison to sing lies on their behalf having changed his story. (He was a prison officer who had told Maurice that he had not been aware at the time that an assault had taken place even though he was feet away!) This was because no assault DID TAKE PLACE. Now Maurice is on the lowest level of ‘privileges'; access only to £4 a week canteen money (stamps, pens, paper, envelopes), reduced time of free association, access to cd’s etc etc, a situation he never climbed out of at HMP Cardiff.  

This is all to blacken his Parole Hearing as they have no grounds to keep him locked up as admitted by members of Probation (also under MAPPA)

Now, despite hours of agony during the day (it was only in the middle of the night before) and lying on the floor of his cell as he was unable to get on his bed, no medical help is ever summoned. The chaplain is told ‘porkies’ when he enquires after Maurice’s health. If you have had bad stomach cramps you know that one minute you are writhing in agony and the next the pain has gone and you can get on with your life with just the exhaustion of it all lingering on. You can imagine the fatigue Maurice feels after three hours curled up on the floor.  Maurice had to pay a fellow prisoner to alert me to the situation as no-one would come to his aid.”

5 IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS FROM MAURICE KIRK 14 OCT. 2014,comCOMMITTEE 23 OCT. ’14

Its important that all of the relevant dates are monitored in this case, as if the prison haven't complied with the deadlines etc. this is grounds of legal challenge.

Also, the issue of the CCTV coverage could be used to launch an appeal against the Governor's findings.

If Maurice has been denied disclosure, this could be a serious breach of his convention rights.  We will need to find out more about this so that a challenge can be made.

He has six weeks within which to send off the form for a review.

If the matter was also adjourned we will need to look into the legalities of that.

It will hinge on whether in all of the circumstances Maurice has had a fair hearing under the Common Law Rules, never mind the ECHR ones.

Lest we forget:  Some calls from MK from prison: Jan. 2014:   www.vimeo.com/111733562

Maurice is now bed-ridden, and has had his wheelchair removed – the healthcare staff claiming that to be without a wheelchair is better for him. MK has already collapsed once in HMP Swansea due to his painful and serious medical condition, which the authorities, by their abject indifference to things, ignore wholesale.

MK has been awaiting the urgent medical operation since the end of the 1st week of March, 2014 – some 8 months ago now.

Many government depts. have been written to, inc. the Prime Minister, Mr. Grayling Sec. of State for Justice, Ms. T. May Home Secretary, Mr. J. Hunt Welsh Minister for Health, and more – all replied that they have forwarded the sent details informing them of MK’s denial of the urgent medical operation to the “Ministry of Justice” – who have replied on more than one occasion that I do not have MK’s permission to deal with them, even though I have enclosed MK’s letter of permission with documents sent to them numerous times!

Some of the important documents received from MK today 18 Nov. 2014, in order:

1, 2] Medical update 6 Nov. '14, and 8 Nov. '14

3] Arrest of Crown Prosecutor - Denied Eye Witnesses, Relavent CCTV, Court and Custody Records  8 Nov. '14

4, 4a]  Failed Disclosure of Court and Custody Records  30 Oct., 6 Nov. '14

5]  Letter to RCJ Appeals, 7 Nov. '14.: "Assault" on HMP Head of Security, pt. 6

6] Why denied phone numbers?  13 Nov. '14

7]  A typical example of how justice is perverted - the Public Protection Casework Section does not answer an important question about providing MK with his parole dossier, as this "Offender Supervisor" claims - despite the P.P.C.S. getting reminders on 30 Oct. and 12 Nov. '14 from being contacted originally on the 24th October - just one example of how MK is deliberately denied important legal documents so that he cannot prepare on the many hidden aspects of denying him parole. An outrage! When authorities are told about these perversions of justice, viz. documents being kept hidden, they do absolutely nothing, as the Prime Minister didn't, along with the Home Secretary, Secretary of State for Justice, and the Ministry of Justice [to name just 4 departments one might of thought might've acted responsibly] when      told about MK's medical records being withheld so he cant's have the urgent medical operation hes been waiting for for over EIGHT months now. Jeremy Hunt, Welsh Minister for Health, likewise did nothing when told about MK's urgent operation not being able to take place because of the medical records being kept hidden. Absolutely disgraceful, without any shadow of doubt!!!!!

On Wednesday Maurice was taken to hospital from the court, as he couldnt continue his appeal against conviction of assault of the Crown prosecutor Evans as he was in so much pain with his serious and ignored stomach condition - totally ignored by every government figure written to - especially the prison "HEALTHCARE" team. Maurice says he isnt being given any pain relief whilst at HMP Swansea, and the pain can be crippling, and he tends not to eat as this causes more pain. The doctors at the hospital he was taken to last Wednesday could see he clearly needed treatment, and gave him pain relief immediately. But, after being taken back to the prison all medical care ceased. What is going on here? and why is HMP Swansea, and HMP Bristol [the hearing he is attending is at Bristol CC] denying him pain relief, and why, after 8 months, is Maurice still waiting for his urgent stomach operation? Communications by many to the Prime Minister, the Welsh Minister for Health Jeremy Hunt, the M.o.J., the Home Secretary Ms. T. May and many more are all a complete and utter waste of time. Communications sent to the Welsh Government at Cathays Park, and the Welsh Assembly are also a waste of time. All these people mentioned should hang their heads in shame for refusing to let Maurice have this urgent medical operation, because if it were one of them that were in the same position as Maurice, health-wise, they would be getting the best care in Europe. Maurice Kirk being denied medical treatment is a true example of government figures failing completely and utterly to do their jobs, that we - the taxpayer - especially Maurice Kirk - pay the astronomical salaries of.

What an utter disgrace!!!  

Communication to a concerned party 30 Nov. 2014, 12.40pm GMT:

"hi ------

Maurice [Kirk] has gone missing - no prison will tell us where he is after his hearing finished on Monday at Bristol CC - he was at HMP Bristol. I , with others, have tried calling HMP Bristol [where he was] and Swansea but they refuse to say anything, and it is very worrying considering his health conditions - his serious long awaited stomach operation has still not happened, and although he was rushed to hospital on Weds 19 Nov halfway through the court hearing because he was in so much pain and given pain relief immediately as soon as he left the hospital hours later all medication ceased again at the prison as they've refused continually to give him any pain relief at all. Also his long awaited urgent stomach operation is still being refused by authorities after nearly 9 months of waiting. His sister will not be told either by anybody she contacts where MK is. If you know of any way we can affirm where MK is, pls let us know.

Thanks..."

The MoJ have not replied despite what is written in Mr. Cameron's letters.

At the last hearing, on 25 November 2014 at Bristol Crown Court, Maurice declined to appear in court as he had been denied his medication.

A representative of Geo Amery told the judge that he was declining to leave the van as he had been denied his medication.

The Judge directed that he be taken back to the prison and that the hearing and remainder of his appeal would take place in his absence.

He later gave a judgment that stated that Maurice had been manipulating the court throughout the appeal and accused him of histrionics.  He dismissed Maurice's appeal and ordered costs of £1000.

So Maurice was denied natural justice and denied the opportunity of giving evidence in his defence, so his appeal was denied in default as a result of the prison authorities deliberately abusing him by not giving him his medication.

I've heard of proceedings proceeding in defendant's absence who deliberately absent themselves from their trials, but someone who has been denied vital medication cannot be said to have deliberately absented himself from the hearing.

This will have to be challenged.

Hopefully Maurice will be applying to state a case regarding the dismissal of his appeal in his absence, as a result of the prison authorities again deliberately denying him his medication.

In addition, there was no evidence placed before the court on which Judge McGrigor Judge Deputy Advocate General could have concluded that it was reasonable to order him to pay prosecution costs of £1.088.

Judge McGrigor had some controversy not too long ago with the Nightingale case, where he was criticised by the Court of Appeal for giving a nod and a wink to Mr Nightingale relating to possession of the ammunition so that he got 5 years gaol.

How outrageous to fine MK £1000 - surely it wasn't that he wouldn't enter the court, but he COULDNT.

"Almost exactly 9 months ago – on the 3rd March 2014 – Maurice ended his 30-odd day long hunger strike in HMP Cardiff after receiving an official notification from a chief prison doctor stating, in writing, he had no brain tumour, etc. [see below]. He’d been trying to get official notification regarding this non-existing ailment since 2009 when he was falsely diagnosed as having brain tumour, without any examination or anything, by the then head of “Caswell Clinic”, Wales, a so-called “consultant psychiatrist”.

A couple of days later things turned really bad as parts of his stomach began exiting his anal orifice, and remained suspended. This was the origin of the serious pain he still is experiencing and getting no treatment for, not even pain relief, he tells us.  [MK is now bedridden, and is denied a wheelchair, we were told]. Indeed, he was swiftly taken to Bristol Infirmary on Weds 12 November as he could no longer continue his appeal hearing at Bristol Crown Court because he was in so much pain. At the Infirmary, the doctors saw the situation and immediately gave him medication, including pain relief, but after a short while he was returned to the prison where, he tells us, all medication ceased as per the norm there.

The following Monday he could not enter the courtroom for the continuation of the hearing as he was in so much pain and had not received any medication. Imagine that.

What a situation.  

Below, the 2 replies from the NHS, UK., stating to contact the “Welsh Assembly”. This had already been done a couple of weeks previously, along with the Welsh government at their 2 different addresses. No replies from either have been received to date.   Mr. Jeremy Hunt, Minister for Health, Wales was also contacted, but nothing became of that also.  Then follows the communication from HMP Cardiff “Healthcare”, which saw the end of MK’s month-long hunger strike, followed by the official UK NHS “brain scan” report from late 2013, showing, naturally, MK had no “brain tumour”.  "

Maurice writes, received 10 Dec. 2014: the full letter is here:

butlincat.wordpress.com/.../maurice-kirk-position-statement-10-dec-2014

Excerpts:

Maurice Kirk v South Wales Police

Position Statement

10 December 2014 [ECRH]

Communication from Maurice Kirk to the Clerk of the Court, Civil Justice Centre, Cardiff, and also: Royal Courts

of Justice Appeals office and Admin. Court 201 402428 C1 –

Bristol Crown Court A20140082 – Cardiff Crown Court BS614159, CF101741, CF101741 etc.

note vi] in Pt. 2 above reads:  "now defendant has ordered claimant [M Kirk] not to contact anyone under 18 years?"

Notes at bottom of text read:

viii]  17 July hospital appointment cancelled, by South Wales Police

ix]  both Bristol prison and Bristol Infirmary admit they cannot access Welsh medical records or even identify claimant's G.P.

x]  application for both civil and criminal courts to intervene

Notes on the reverse:

"I have no self-propelled wheelchair - refuse to return one i came in + now had 3 x 12 hours denied water, any water except my [unreadable] urine from pot"

"only had change of clothing / bedding 18 days after A+E, + same sheets! Noone gives a damn, doctors especially"

Maurice's Parole hearing is now fixed for hearing on 5 February.  

They have listed it for as late as possible, and almost near his discharge date to ensure he is kept in custody as long as possible.

The grounds on which his licence was withdrawn was all phoney and built on a "wing and a prayer".

It was all bogus with no evidence from the doctor's surgery or any evidence that he put up the photos of the hostel inmates, who all consented to having their photos published.  

In any event, the existence of the hostel and who stayed there was common knowledge in the Swansea area, and it was all rubbish that Maurice had put the hostel at risk.

Spurious reasons have been given by NOMS to try and justify Maurice's illegal detention.

The prison authorities are still trying to deny Maurice his wheel chair and leave him alone in his cell for hours in order to mentally torture him.

Quite franky, Maurice's detention has more in common with the "Avenue Foch".

Poor Maurice is left to lie on his bed or on the floor for hours and is being starved of food and vital medical care and medication.  

All of this is a plot by the AA and SWP to see that he never makes it out of goal.  

All pleas to Chris Grayling, he of misleading the House of Commons fame over Judicial Review and the effects of his own clauses, have all gone unheeded and totally ignored.

What bogus excuses will NOMS come up with to keep Maurice in goal at his parole hearing.  

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't fabricata false evidence and reports and the staff at Swansea goal have already tried to do this with a bogus and false report about an alleged assault with a wheelchair.  

All fabricated by the corrupt staff at HMP Swansea.  The staff at HMP Bristol are even worse and Maurice is being kept in solitary confinement and in isolation to further torture his mind.

Maurice sent some documents on the 13 December '14, describing the appalling situation he has having to put up with where he is, eg. such as having to sleep in his wheelchair because help cannot be got to help him into his bed. Still he has not received medical treatment [the operation] for his serious stomach ailments - see more:
