УВАЖАЕМИ ГОСПОЖИ/ГОСПОДА/ ВЪРХОВНИ СЪДИИ,

That the Court ORDER production of evidence from the Justice Ministry inter alia
all the statistical public data on persons deprived of liberty as requested by this
Applicant and as was refused by the Commission [see Applicant’s Motion No.
09/07.10.2006 to the Commission Attention: Ms. Zora Georgieva Gencheva
Преписка: № 48/2006].
The Applicant reserves the procedural right to request additional evidence
necessary to prove persecution and anti-Semitism.
The Applicant repeats below his requests to the Commission for evidence and asks
the Court to replace the Word “COMMISSION” with the word “Court Appointed
Expert”;

I.That The Applicant Must Insist On The Commission’s Collection Of The Following
Evidence And FACTS From The Respondent Ministry For Justice;
The Applicant requests the Commission consider collecting from the Respondent Ministry for
Justice all or part the following data on male inmates;

Respondent Ministry for Justice to Provide a statement of defense to the Commission on why it failed to
mention contradictions of art. 14 of Ordinance No. 4/2001
The Minister for Justice does NOT discuss the legal contradictions between domestic law and the
complained of normative act art. 14 of Ordinance No. 4/2001 of the Ministry for Justice where it
writes;

1
 “Чл. 14. Лицата, които не са български граждани и не са се установили на
постоянно местоживеене в страната, изтърпяват наказание в затвора в София,
където се настаняват изолирано от останалите по местоживеене и месторабота.”

Bulgaria’s law requiring from Bulgaria’s Minister for Justice something completely different at
the art. 12c of Law for the Execution of Punishments where it writes;

“Чл.12в. (нов,ДВ,бр.103 от 2004 г.) Чужденците, които нямат разрешение за

постоянно пребиваване в Република България, изтърпяват наказанието лишаване от
свобода в затвори, поправителни домове и общежития, определени със заповед на
министъра на правосъдието. ” [see first request for Rebuttal evidence at A.1.a below]

The Minister for Justice does NOT discuss the legal contradictions between art. 14 of Ordinance
No. 4/2001 of the Ministry for Justice and art. 12c of Law for the Execution of Punishments when
read with Bulgaria’s constitutional law art. 6(2) where it writes;

“Чл. 6. (1) Всички хора се раждат свободни и равни по достойнство и права.

(2) Всички граждани са равни пред закона. Не се допускат никакви ограничения на

правата или привилегии, основани на раса, народност, етническа принадлежност,
пол, произход, религия, образование, убеждения, политическа принадлежност,
лично и обществено положение или имуществено състояние.”

And when read with the domestic law of art. 12a of the Law for the Execution of Punishments,
where it writes;

“Чл.12а. (нов, ДВ,бр. 34 от 1974 г.; изм., бр.28 от 1982 г.)

(1) (изм.,ДВ,бр.21 от 1990 г., бр.62 от 2002 г.) Осъдените за първи път на лишаване
от свобода до пет години за умишлени престъпления и осъдените за непредпазливи
престъпления изтърпяват наказанието в затворнически общежития от открит тип.

(2) (отм.,ДВ,бр.62 от 2002 г.)

(3) (нова,ДВ,бр.73 от 1998 г.; изм.,бр.62 от 2002 г.) В затворническите общежития от

преходен тип могат да се настаняват осъдени с добро поведение, изтърпели най-
малко шест месеца от наложеното наказание в затвор или затворническо общежитие
от закрит тип и остатък от наказанието не по-голям от пет години.

(4) (нова,ДВ,бр.73 от 1998 г.; изм.,бр.62 от 2002 г.) Редът за настаняване в

затворнически общежития от преходен тип се определя в правилника за
прилагането на закона.”;

And when read with articles 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the same Ordinance No. 4/2001;

2
 Чл. 15. Лишените от свобода от категориите по чл. 12а, ал. 1 от Закона за

поправителни общежития от открит тип:

Пловдивска, Врачанска, Видинска и Монтанска област;

Чл. 17. (1) Лишените от свобода извън категорията по чл. 12а, ал. 1 и 2 от Закона
за изпълнение на наказанията, които не са рецидивисти, изтърпяват наказанието в
следните затвори и трудово-поправителни общежития от закрит тип:

4. трудово-поправително общежитие "Кремиковци" към затвора в гр. София - от

София-град и Видинска, Монтанска, Пловдивска и Софийска област;

Чл. 18. (1) Лишените от свобода рецидивисти изтърпяват наказанието в следните

е необходимо писмено съгласие на осъдените.

III.INTERPRETERS - LEGAL RIGHTS - REHABILITATION

Sofia Prison Issue a Current Report to the Commission with the Names of Expert Interpreters the
Respondent Utilizes to Explain Legal Rights and Obligations, and has translated the Respondents
Officials Documents when Affecting the Legal or Property Rights of EU and other non-citizens/offenders
segregated and isolated by the Respondents at the Sofia Prison.

1.The Respondent Ministry for Justice identify to the Commission the names and EGN of those
expert interpreters and the languages used to provide oral or written explanations to convicted or
accused EU and other non-citizens when explaining their legal rights, obligations and
opportunities according to the domestic laws and ordinances or orders issued by the Respondents.

2.The Applicant’s request for this evidence concerns the positive legal obligations of the
Respondents according to art. 6(1) of ECHR and the need for explaining rights and warnings
about obligations [see arts. 22a(2)1, 38(a)(c) and (d)2, Bulgaria’s Law for the Execution of
Punishments; art. 8(1) and art. 10 of the Regulations for Application of Bulgaria’s Law for the
Execution of Punishments where it writes “Чл. 8. (1) При постъпването им в затвора
лишените от свобода се….запознават се с правилата за вътрешния ред и с правата и
задълженията им” and “Чл. 10. В срок до пет дни новопостъпилите се приемат от
ръководството на затвора, което, след като ги изслуша и се запознае с всички документи
и със заключенията на психолога и лекаря, ги разпределя по отряди и определя вида и
мястото на работата, която ще изпълняват”]

1
Art. 22a. (new – SG 62/02) (1) At the places for deprivation from liberty shall be used technical
and other means for guarding and control for prevention of escape, other crimes and breaches.
(2) The deprived from liberty shall be warned about the possibility to be used guarding and technical means,
dangerous for their life and health.
2
Art. 38. The deprived from liberty shall be obliged:
a) to fulfil the work, assigned to them by the administration;
c) to observe the rules, established for them;
d) to fulfil precisely the rulings and the orders of the respective officials;

7
 [NOTE to Commission see again jurisprudence of Bulgaria’s regional courts Exhibit No.
3A and Exhibit No. 3B].

Most significantly the requested information relies also on the written representation and
explanation as offered by the Respondent Ministry for Justice [see Exhibit 4 – Letter by
D.M. Mario Dimitrov dated 13.09.2004 and where he writes “…persons who are not
Bulgarian citizens are to serve terms of imprisonment at prison in the city of Sofia where
they are placed in residences and places of work isolated from the others [Bulgarian
citizens, and that] this is dictated by considerations for ease of facilitating their contact
[with]…organization…” and for the “…securing of interpreters…”.

[Commission referred to section where it writes “Съгласно…Министъра на

правосъдието лицата, които не са български граждани изтърпяват наказание в
затвора гр. София, където се настаняват изолирано от останалите по
местоживеене и месторабота. Това е продиктувано от съображение за
улесняване на контактите…организиране…осигуряване на преводачи….”]

3.Explain to the Commission how the Respondent Ministry for Justice Bulgaria and ЦСДВР at
the Sofia Prison explained normative acts, orders or decrees and prison rules or regulations as
well as the “program” for rehabilitation of “non-citizens”. This is particularly interesting when
the Commission considers such information is available to Sofia Prison inmates only in the
Bulgarian language [see art. 8(1) of the ППЗИН “Чл.8. (1) При постъпването им в затвора
лишените от свобода се настаняват в отделни помещения, където…През това време се…
запознават се с правилата за вътрешния ред и с правата и задълженията им.”];

IV.COMMISSION TO MAKE A COMPARATIVE EQUALITY ANALYSIS – CASES

STUDIES
The Commission to select [without interferences of Sofia prison officials] the prison case files and
histories, pre and post final sentence, of the Applicant and 3 EU or other foreign citizens.

1.Each subject must have no prior criminal record and no significant breaches of prison rules
during the terms of their imprisonment.

2.As control subjects the Commission is requested to select the case files of 4 citizens of
Bulgarian having committed virtually the same criminal offences and having the virtually the
same terms of imprisonment.

3.To preserve anonymity the identity of the offenders can be withheld by the Commission.
However, this is no privileged evidence – case files of convicted felons are a matter of public
record and there is no violation of a privacy law. The Commission having authority to demand
and to examine the prison histories of convicts – offenders - who by virtue of their convictions
lose certain rights of privacy and privilege.

8
4.The concerns of the Commission are to determine how and if the Respondents apply equally or
at all Bulgaria’s laws during their administration of criminal sentences. And if the Respondents
are observing imperative procedures of law when applying the same laws under the same
circumstances to citizens of Bulgaria and then to EU or other non-citizens.

V.INCITEMENT TO DISCRIMINATION – HARASSMENT AND PERSECUTION

Commission to make a determination if legal rights and opportunities of EU and other foreign citizens
under Bulgaria’s national laws are being determined according to the prejudices or preferences of
officials’ and not according to law.
The Applicant relies on the documental evidence of administrative, prosecution and
judicial RULINGS as well as witness testimony proving INACTION [or refusals to act]
as will be collected by the Commission during the course of its enquiry.

As a result, the Commission can only settle the questions of incitement, indirect
discrimination and arbitrariness from collecting witness testimonies and the
Commissions examining the reasons found in RULINGS, ORDERS and DECREES
issued by the Sofia prison administration, prosecutors and criminal courts.
