Once again Maurice did not make it into the courtroom for yet another important hearing this week, for the SEVENTH TIME. Letters of complaint were sent, to the P.M. and others, with full details:

Dear Sir / Ms.,

No more than 24 hours had passed since writing to you and many others on the 20th January to inform you and many others about gross irregularities involving the  contracted company GeoAmey NOT producing Mr. Maurice Kirk - HMP Swansea no. A7306AT - at his own hearings in numerous courts, when Mr. Kirk was denied YET AGAIN, ON THE 21 January, BEING PRESENT AT HIS HEARING AT CARDIFF CROWN COURT.

Not producing Mr. Kirk at his own hearings, and blaming the falsehood that..."

At the hearing of Maurice's appeal by case stated which was to be heard at Cardiff Crown Court, it is understood that Swansea prison informed the court that Maurice had refused to get into the van to bring him to court.

Maurice's sister had also telephoned the court on the morning to inform the court that Maurice had had problems with Geo Amey before in that on numerous occasions they had refused to bring him to the court.

At Bristol Crown Court, the dock security officer from Geo Amey informed Judge McGrigor that Maurice had refused to get out of the van and required to be lifted to his wheelchair.

The court was informed that the security staff had refused to do this as they might injure themselves as they weren't trained to do this.

The appeal proceeded in Maurice's absence and Maurice was directed to be returned to prison for his medication.

The court accepted in the present case the explanation given by the prison and his appeal was dismissed in his absence.

it now transpires that Maurice has been charged with disobeying a lawful order on 21 January by allegedly refusing to go into the van, and the prison have alleged that he told prison staff that if they laid any hands on him, they would get sued.

Again, this is just another bogus story concocted by Swansea prison to cover themselves for blocking his attendance at court on 21 January and also to further prejudice Maurice's parole application hearing listed for 4 February 2015.

Another bogus charge was a false allegation that Maurice refused to leave his cell when he was being transferred from Bristol prison to Swansea prison, which again was brought to prejudice his parole application.

All  along, the prison service in cahoots with Geo Amey have conspired to ensure that Maurice never reaches court in an important case, thus ensuring that the proceedings are decided adversely to him.

Its all part of the conspiracy to deny Maurice access to justice, and to ensure that he never gets to tell his story and expose the corrupt authorities who have been working against him since day one.

The latest letter from Celia re Maurice

Dear Rosie Khan,

I think you are living on a different planet to Mr Maurice Kirk A7306AT.

Since being in HMP Swansea (11th July  2014- 19th Nov 2014) he was only allowed to telephone me, his sister. He was not allowed to phone his grown-up children, his ex-wife, his brother, his lawyer etc.

As a Litigant in Person he has had to have envelopes with stamps and an address written in to contact any of 5 courts with whom he is corresponding(RCJ, Cardiff Crown, County, Magistrates, CCRC and Bristol Crown Court). These have had to be supplied by supporters. There are no free postage letters available to Maurice KIRK despite endless requests to the Governor of the Wing/Section/Prison. As he is confined to a chair with wheels he is only able to telephone if an Officer or a friendly prisoner agrees to push him to a telephone. The same constraints are in place if he wishes to get  to the meal line-up, to the medical hatch or to the ablutions.

From 19th Nov 14-8th Jan 2015 he was at HMP Bristol where the same regime prevailed except he had a bathroom attached to his 'health wing' cell. However, he was obliged to sleep overnight for 3 nights running in his chair because the staff would not come and put his chair near enough to the bed for him to get in! Regularly he was obliged to fill various receptacles with urine when no-one answered his call to get him to his bathroom.

Now back in HMP Swansea he is still in this wheeled porter's chair and has to get to the meal station at the end of the hall by using his hands along the wall to haul himself along. He is 6 weeks off 70 years old!

It took over 5 months to get his glasses to him; over 7 months to get a hearing aid to him and over 11 months to see any medical care who would discuss his acute abdominal pain symptoms. Only now, after 15 months in the hands of the Prison Healthcare system has he been prescribed  a medicine which seems to help but already he has been denied those tablets 3 times this week!

I remain the only person whom he can phone. Is it because I do not live in the UK?

His NOMS caseworker is not doing his job.

yours sincerely

Mrs Celia Jeune nee Kirk

Maurice's Parole hearing listed for 4 February has been cancelled without any reasons.

It appears that it may never be listed and they will hold him now until the expiration of his sentence.

2 docs received from MK, 4 Feb. 2014:

- see this video of the radio broadcast from his sister:

from PublicEnquiry 13 Sept. 2014

It appears that Maurice's Parole hearing has been shelved so that NOMS dirty linen can't be made public.  

It would seem therefore that this will never be heard, which is of course totally illegal.

Maurice's application for leave to appeal against his convictions for breach of restraining order and a threat to allegedly damage property, the name involved cannot be mentioned on this site for legal reasons, is listed for hearing on 10 February 2015.

It would seem that once again the court cabal are denying Maurice the right to be present for this case and are proposing to determine it all on the papers.  This is how they perform justice in these cases.

Maurice Kirk Position Statement 16 January 2015 [and 1 sheet for 26 Jan. Pos. Stmt. below that] tell of outrageous irregularities continuing unchecked.

We are told £1000 belonging to Maurice has been denied him, to get a lawyer, or a private doctor for his longstanding serious stomach ailment, for which an urgent medical operation has been denied for over 10 months now. Despite continuous communications to the Prime Minister, The Secretary of State for Justice, the Home Secretary, and despite...

On Friday 6 Feb. friends on a social visit were turned away from HMP Swansea, being told Maurice "refused to attend" the visit by a prison warder.

THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!! Maurice phoned his sister Saturday 7 Feb. and reports:

"HE WAS NOT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND VISIT. NO-ONE TOLD HIM YOU WERE THERE! HE NEVER REFUSED TO COME TO HALL."

This is just another appalling disregard of everything decent with regards to Maurice Kirk, 69.

Visitors for Maurice were told on Friday by reception staff at HMP Swansea that Maurice had refused to leave his cell and had refused the visit.

Maurice says prison staff have told him today Saturday that no one turned up.

The torture by the Sth Wales cabal goes on and on.

Maurice's application for leave to appeal is listed for hearing before the Court of Appeal on 10 February.

He's not being produced and the judgment has already been written up beforehand in an outcome driven decision.

This is justice in UK 2015.

Maurice's application for leave to appeal was dismissed in an outcome driven judgment delivered in 10 minutes.  

No consideration was given to any of the legal issues and points that Maurice had raised, which was odd as the previous judgment relating to a dismissal application was delivered with great precision and consideration.

In a final act of torture, the court determined that Maurice's applications for leave to appeal against conviction and sentence were without merit and the court vindictively directed that 21 days on each of the two counts on which he had been found guilty by Judge Rowlands not count towards his current sentence.

So the judges just decided that the last 21 days that he has been in gaol don't count as being in gaol and he has to spend another 21 days in gaol to make up for the last 21 days when he wasn't in gaol?....even though he was.......in gaol....for the last 21 days!!

Does this sound ridiculous to anyone else or is it just me?

and all because it was ridiculous and totally without merit to appeal against his conviction because quite obviously there is no corruption in the judiciary or the police?

Whilst you try and make sense of this nonsense, here is some more police corruption that obviously doesn't exist!
