From NORMAN SCARTH [born 1925], Founder Member of THE ARTICLE 6 GROUP.

Now POLITICAL PRISONER GV5409

Currently on death row at HMP Wolds Gulag, BROUGH, E. Yorkshire HU15 2JZ. 27^th Feb. 2004.

In the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Leeds District Registry, re Norman Scarth v Graham Moore [ex Chief Constable of West Yorkshire.]

Case LS 190 197, now unlawfully transferred to the County Court, as case 4LS80010.

A Claim for £1,000,000 [plus punitive & exemplary damages] for potentially lethal assaults by W.Y. Police on 8^th August 1999 & 20^th July 2000, false imprisonment, perjury & other misconduct.

Copy to HH Judge Grenfell.

To: A.K.HUSSEIN, WEST YORKSHIRE POLICE SOLICITOR. POLICE HQ, Laburnum Road, Wakefield WF1 3QP. Tel: 01924 292 187, Fax: 292 196. F.O.A. Mr. Michael S. Percival.

Cc: HH Judge S.P. Grenfell, at The courthouse, 1 Oxford Row, Leeds, for his PERSONAL attention as per his directions.

I acknowledge receipt of 2 letters from Mr. Percival, both posted 2^nd class to HMP Wolds, both reached me at HMP Leeds 21/2/04. One dated 13/2/04, with enc. [pocket book entry], the other dated 16/2/04.

I deal with the one dated 16/2/04, which says, “Further to my letter of 13/2/04, you are now in breach of paragraph 6[a] of the Court Order made on 8^th January 2004. Please note that unless I have received your disclosure statement & copies of documents on or before Monday, 23^rd February 2004, I shall issue an urgent application to stay the proceedings.”

I use the plainest language to respond, no other will do. Mr. Percival is either depraved, or a complete idiot. He writes as though I am sitting in an office, with a staff of 10, instead of a captured, caged, defenceless, tormented & tortured animal, in Armley Gaol, Leeds, run by psychopaths. ‘Banged up’ 23 ½ a day, no book, no newspaper or TV, no Education, no library [for legal or leisure], no church or chapel, no idea what is to be done with me, no chair, table or ledge on which to use my laptop for my legal work. No access to a printer, which makes the laptop computer an instrument of torture, comparable to giving a starving man a tin of food, but no tin opener.
My telephone calls, including those to my legal advisers have been blocked. The £50 or so in my prison account has been confiscated, so I am not able to buy stamps, & even if the blocking of telecalls ends, will not be able to make any when the little money already in my telephone account is used up. My reading glasses are broken, new ones prescribed have been in this prison two months, but denied me.
Other prisoners are punished if they try to speak to me through the door, I am not allowed to come out & collect such food as I may want [usually boiling water, vinegar, sugar & salt only.] Having been invited out to do so on one occasion, when I tried to I was thrown violently back in my cell by four officers. Prisoners suffer frequent moves for no purpose other than to disorientate them, & I have had 16 so far. Though I should be back at HMP Wolds [category ‘C’, & should be Cat. ‘D’ – if at all] they are keeping me at Leeds to break me – they are specialists.
Armley Gaol is a cross between Camp X-Ray & a Japanese POW camp. Cynthia Jarratt was attacked by police & died of a heart attack, causing the Broadwater Farm Riots. W.Y. Police having failed to do the same to me since the first attack on 8^th August 1999, the job has been passed to the Prison service, but there will be no riots when they finally succeed, me being just a white Old Age Pensioner, a World War 2 Hero. My position is little different to John McCarthy, Brian Keenan & Terry Waite in Beirut, the electricians who were beheaded in Chechnya, the backpackers beheaded in Afghanistan, or Daniel Pearl, more recently murdered in Pakistan.
They are desperate that other prisoners will not know I am on hunger strike. In this they follow a KGB Directive to the soviet Gulags, quoted by Solzhenitsyn in ‘The gulag Archipelago’, “Suppress hunger strikes, or information about them. If forced to admit, waste no time in telling [the public] of the crimes committed by the hunger striker.” You will see in the press & TV about other hunger strikers – but not about me!
Trying to have a normal discussion with officers about my glasses, telephone calls, cash account, printing legal documents etc., I was again thrown back in the cell by four of them, injuring my back. Later, a message came, “The nurse wants to see you.” I climbed up the stairs & when she asked how I was, told her “not so good after the brutality.” Though I did not realise it, Dr. Akhtar[?], an Asian woman was at the back of the room. She called out, “He can walk, he’s OK”, & to me, “Get out!” That was her ‘examination’!
Still banged up 23 ½ hours a day, still not knowing why I m not back at Wolds, most of my vital legal documents are denied me, some at Wolds, a few here at Armley with me, others here but locked up & denied me. Not for the first time, I quote the words of Euripides, “They whom the gods wish to destroy they fist drive mad.” These are not Gods, but Devils. From the witness box on 4/4/03 psychiatrist Dr. Quinn told Judge Goldsack, “Sending him back to prison could have catastrophic consequences on his mental health.”
Goldsack proved himself a psychopath by doing exactly that. To deliberately drive someone to insanity is a crime worse than murder. With Goldsack, the Prison Service & Judge Grenfell working together towards that end, it cannot be long before Dr Quinn’s prediction comes true, & such little sanity I still retain will disappear.
You will recall that apart from disclosure from you, I also asked for disclosure from Leeds Combined Court Centre itself. They have much evidence in their possession, but have contemptuously ignored my request, proving yet again that they lawyer’s hatred for the Litigant In Person equals that of the Nazis for the Jews.
I would say that my blood will be on the hands of all of you, my death on your consciences, but regrettably, lawyers have neither conscience nor soul. One condition of entering the profession is that they must first sell their souls to The Devil.

For the record, I make the following points: Having received from you a copy of the letter from Councillor Amanda Carter, I would like to call her as a witness. Other witnesses required: ALL police present on 8/8/99; WPC in witness box at my trial who refused police record info; Councillor Lorna Cohen; Neil Taggart, Chairman of Police Authority; Kenneth Neil Roberts; Solicitor J.L. Richards; Colleen?; ‘Irish John’; Neighbours at 61 G.P. Grove; those at 65? [cat people] & various others, inc. young couple living opposite; woman with Polish name on same side; Man on roof [see below]; Amnesty International man G.P. Grove.

Points for continuation:

Also disclosure of original documents relating to Committal of Roberts & Richards for perjury & deception of the court, & copy which was crudely falsified [by either Scott Smith or Michael Ganfield?] Circa Nov – Dec 1999. Further disclosure required: Tape recording of my 999 call on 8/8/99; Copies of all communications with PCA; Copies of faxed communication with councillor Lorna Cohen @ Civic Hall [Circa Sept 1999]; Copy of letter to Roberts family at Cockermouth [Circa autumn 1999]; Letter from solicitor J.L. Richards circa Sept. 1999 warning of bailiffs in two days; All documents relating to my successful appeal against Possession Order. The appeal, with costs to me was granted by Chancery Judge Behrens [Circa Oct 1999]; Name of man on roof opposite on 20 July 2000 – NOT the one whose name was given by CPS.
