II. Statement of Facts

14. On or about September 12, 2004 Joanna Cipriano, a native Portuguese girl disappeared mysteriously in the Portuguese town of Figueira. As a result, Leonor and Joao Cipriano, both native Portuguese, were abruptly arrested, accused of murder, convicted, and sentenced to a long prison term. The body of the supposed murdered victim was never found. Every since their imprisonment, both defendants have denied the murder accusation and maintained conclusively, that their confession was forcibly obtained by extra judicial methods consisting of cruel and savage torture inflicted on them by members of the Policia Judiciaria (PJ) of Portugal, under the leadership of police officials Goncalo Amaral, Paolo Cristovao and other accomplices who now must face a criminal trial for their actions.

Joao Cipriano, one of the defendants in the case, have stated additionally that Joanna was abducted to be "sold" into a paedophile network with connections in Portugal, a country internationally identified as a true paradise for pederast and paedophiles, where they reign with impunity and enjoy the protection of government institutions such as the PJ. Meanwhile, the other defendant in the case, Leonor Cipriano, denounced publicly the vicious beatings and different forms of torture she was a victim of, by PJ personnel during interrogations without the presence of an Attorney or knowledge by the public prosecutor. To show proof of her information and statements, she referred to a photograph published in a newspaper wherein she appears with a very heavily-bruised face almost unrecognisable as a result of the brutal beatings by PJ members during the interrogations.

The only ground in the case the PJ used to form the basis upon which the defendants were accused of murdering Joanna, was an allegation that she saw Joao and Leonor having sex and that to keep it secret and preventing her from divulging it, they killed her. During trail, the defence argued strenuously that the PJ accusation was false, that they did not conducted a thorough investigation of the case, and that the hasty, abrupt manner, and methods by which they proceeded to charge the defendants, appeared to be part of an outside interest unrelated to the nature of the case.

Two

On the night of May 3, 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, British national Madeleine Beth Mc Cann, then age three, was abducted by someone while she was sleeping in a room of an apartment located at the Mark Warner Ocean Club Resort in that town.

In this case, the PJ officers directed by Goncalo Amaral (again) acted similarly as they did in the previous case, that is, by hastily accusing the parents of being responsible for the death of the child, without having any valid evidence to sustain the accusation. There was no formal arrest or trial on the case, but there was an interrogation session and the lodging of a suspect status under Portuguese law against both parents. In addition, the mother of the abducted child was offered a two year prison term "deal" during the interrogation if she falsely admitted killing her daughter. The defendant refused the ridiculous and outrageous "deal" offered by the PJ.

In this case like in others, PJ officials insistently rejected the version that Madeleine was abducted and instead kept accusing her parents of killing the child without any concrete evidence. Like in previous cases, private detectives working to find the child also stated that Madeleine was abducted to be "sold" to rich paedophiles who "buy" children on orders to become their personal property and sex slaves.

The facts in this case related to the modus operandi by the PJ during times when a real investigation and search for the abducted child should have been conducted are overwhelming and point out to official complicity. However, the many details that make up the evidence are technically argumentative and do not belong in this section now, therefor, they will not be included but it may suffice to state that just like in the previous case, the PJ did not really investigated the crime; instead they kept focusing insistently on accusing the parents without any evidence and for unexplained reasons, while invoking a law that provides secrecy during proceedings as the base supporting their refusal to explain their actions.

Three

Before the Joanna Cipriano case in Figueira wherein the PJ accused her family without any real evidence of killing her, three year old Portuguese native Carolina Santos also vanished mysteriously as well, after she was last seen walking away in the company of a man unknown to all neighbours. In that case, the PJ -again- accused the parents of being responsible for her disappearance or unproved death without having any objective evidence. The case did not received much publicity, and the PJ does not even keep any information on the case in their missing persons section at their web site, making it almost impossible to obtain precise information or details on the case. And just like in previous cases, family members of Carolina Santos have said repeatedly that she was abducted by one or more henchman working for rich paedophiles linked to members of the Portuguese officialdom, and taken out of the country to be "sold."

The case of Carolina Santos and the others provide an insight by showing a pattern the PJ has utilised in every child abduction in Portugal, by using the method of not investigating the crime, but instead accusing parents of either killing the abducted child or being part of the disappearance while in the absence of any concrete evidence to support the accusations.

There are other child abduction cases in Portugal with similar characteristics too numerous to mention here and to comply with Rule 47 (d) of the Court requiring statements in this section to be succinct.

III. Statement(s) on the Violation(s) of the Convention and/or

Protocols and Relevant Arguments

15. According to Article 1 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, every contracting State member has the obligation to secure and respect all human rights, including the right of children in their jurisdiction, not to be kidnapped with the direct or indirect aid of any official institution or entity. Article 1-- Obligation to respect human rights read as follows:

"The Contracting Parties shall secure to everyone within their
jurisdiction the rights and freedoms defined in Section 1 of
this Convention"

The corroborative facts outlined in the Statement of Facts section expose an scandalous social reality and corruption in the entire judicial system of Portugal, that allows a traditional heinous criminal activity in that country connected with sexual perversion against children, at the highest social levels of Portuguese society and government. It is a gross violation of the obligation to protect and secure the human right of any children, not to be kidnapped for perverted purposes, within the jurisdiction of the State of Portugal as a Contracting Party according to the Convention's definition. Convention Rule 53 --Safeguard for existing human rights by a Contracting State.

The criminal tradition of paedophilia in Portugal was dramatically exposed recently by the facts surrounding the scandal known as Casa Pia, wherein hundreds of children officially entrusted to the staff, where brutally abused sexually by rape and other depraved acts during a period no less than thirty five years. The subsequent investigations of the evil and horrendous ordeal that destroyed the life of many youngsters, revealed the direct participation of prominent Portuguese elite society members, who acted with impunity under the auspices and protection of the judiciary system -including the PJ- to carry on their perverted criminal activity that is deeply entrenched in the upper class and officialdom of Portugal. It is within this evilly sordid social environment kept subtly yet publicly and widely known but forbidden to criticise or condemn, that well-planned and organised abductions of children for perverse reasons on behalf of very rich and powerful people, are carried out with the knowledge, direct or indirect participation of individuals connected with Portuguese government institutions. These statements are supported by the above-mentioned facts, and the suspicious performance of the PJ in the recent case related to British citizen Madeleine Mc Cann to be explained in detail at an appropriate future opportunity.

The allowable existence of the criminal activity described above is a gross violation of Portugal as a Contracting State, requiring an in-depth and thoroughly exhaustible independent inquiring in order to know the truth behind the abduction of children and their whereabouts, whether they are still alive or dead. The complainant very strongly believes on the basis of the reasons stated above, that the true answers to the many unanswered questions regarding the abduction and disappearance of children in Portugal, can be found within the official structure of its own government and those who work or act on its behalf.

The statements in this section of the Complaint are sufficient to convey the intended message to request the attention of this Court, to an extremely grave reality needing an immediate correction in the Contracting State of Portugal. The life of abducted children and of their families are being destroyed by this extremely evil and criminal activity that must end. Paedophilia in Portugal (and in Spain too) is a "tradition" deeply entrenched in the psyche, that has thrived unchecked for many generations thanks to official condoning, aiding, protection and support, on behalf of a perverted, rich and powerful elite class. The mere existence of this aberrant behaviour in any Contracting State is a violation of fundamental human rights.

These people support child abduction

Author's Note: The writing below is a reply to a letter sent by someone at the website located at www.truthformadeleine.com that I suspect is connected with the Portuguese establishment and possibly involved in criminal activity related to child abduction in some way. I suggest that you read the reply and judge for yourself.

Reply

Thank You for responding to my mail regarding the Mc Cann case. I have read your reply with interest and agree on the part related to Gerry and Kate Mc Cann leaving their children unattended. They have already admitted their guilt publicly so there is no need to keep focusing on that anymore. We should focus now on other matters that could provide clues or clear evidence on the real truth, and not rely on the official Portuguese version of what happened to Madeleine Mc Cann.

What interest me in particular is the statement you have made denying the abduction of Madeleine without providing any explanation for your conclusion. You wrote that "there is no evidence of abduction" so I ask: If there was no abduction, then what was it? On what basis do you make the assertion? Your statement is in line with the Portuguese police claim that there was no abduction and that Gerry and Kate Mc Cann killed their daughter even though there was not a shred of evidence to support their tacit criminal accusation.

You wrote also that Portuguese detectives Goncalo Amaral and Paolo Cristovao "are irrelevant to the case." How according to you, these men are "irrelevant" to the case when they were in charge of the so-called "investigation" that wasn't? Goncalo Amaral was the official police leading the "investigation" up until the time when he clashed with members of the British police, who were challenging his charade that didn't really have to do with searching for Madeleine, but instead, accusing the Mc Canns of murder while buying time so that the child could disappear effectively. How can these men be "irrelevant" when it was under the leadership of Amaral, that members of his police staff illegally offered Kate Mc Cann a two year prison term during an interrogation session, if she falsely admitted killing her daughter? How can these men be "irrelevant" when both are now facing a criminal trail for the brutal and savage torture of prisoner Leonor Cipriano, mother of a Portuguese girl who was also abducted and mysteriously disappeared in a small town not very far from Praia da Luz? There are stunning similarities between the two cases, with the difference being that Gerry and Kate are not serving a long prison term because they are not Portuguese, their status as Doctors, and the possible damage that could have caused to State bilateral relations, had they been tortured and falsely imprisoned like in other cases.

How can Paolo Cristovao be "irrelevant" when he has made conclusive written sadistic and callous declarations on the case, even though a Portuguese secrecy law forbids anyone from speaking or writing about a case when it hasn't been resolved? Cristovao is a former police director with an in-depth knowledge on children abduction cases in Portugal, including the case of Joanna Cipriano which he handled in such a way, that her mother ended up in prison after a murder conviction based on confessions made just to avoid greater torture that could have caused her dead. This is part of the criminal background belonging to Cristovao, the same individual who recently told the world that "Madeleine didn't make it and her body was dumped into the Atlantic Ocean and lost forever..." Not only his statement violated the Portuguese secrecy law but suggested also that he does know about the Mc Cann case in ways the rest of us don't. Personally, I strongly suspect that Cristovao knows who abducted Madeleine Mc Cann, where was she taken to, on behalf of whom, and of her whereabouts weather she is dead or alive. His statements are too confident for anyone not to think that he knows what he is writing or talking about. I also suspect that his statement on the child's body being "dumped into the Ocean," is a mirror of the information an eye witness who was wandering on the beach, gave to the Portuguese police on May 5, 2007 describing how two men who handled a child wrapped in blanket, was given to a couple waiting on a speed boat that immediately took off at high speed into the Ocean with the child on board. The witness described the speed boat as similar to the type used by the police to guard Portugal's international waters. The police ignored this information and kept instead on accusing the Mc Canns of killing their daughter.

Neither Goncalo Amaral nor Paolo Cristovao is "irrelevant" in every single detail related to the Madeleine Mc Cann case. These men know what the rest of us don't but they will not tell us, and not because the secrecy law prohibits them from doing it, but because they are protecting the interest of those at elite levels whom they actually represent and work for. World child abduction and trafficking related to paedophilia, has become a very lucrative business controlled by the same folks who control entire governments and corrupted politicians. When you deny that Madeleine Mc Cann was abducted, you are actually taking sides with the people who are responsible for this and other monstrous crimes against innocent children. You are not helping either by having a website called "truth-for-Madeleine" if you deny the truth itself.

The poor, incompetent, and inadequate performance by the Portuguese police since the moment they were told about the disappearance of Madeleine was deliberately done in order to allow the criminal abductors to get away. Whoever did the actual kidnapping was probably doing it on behalf of those who had contracted the order by the "customer" who paid them well. Madeleine could have been taken to a private yacht anchored at high seas owned by a millionaire paedophile to be abused. It is very possible that Cristovao knows about this well and might be the reason why he makes a connection between the Sea and Madeleine in his statements. I suspect that he and Amaral know the truth, but what they know will never be known unless they are interrogated and investigated thoroughly by highly competent powers outside the corrupted Portuguese officialdom.

Paedophilia is deeply entrenched in both Portugal and Spain "cultural" idiosyncrasies to the core of activities related to human sexuality, but this fact is sought to be kept sub rosa from others with different moral and cultural traits or values; this is not to say that paedophilia isn't accepted and practised in other societies or cultures because that's in fact the case, but not in the way it is in Portugal and Spain. Paedophilia in these countries was "institutionalised" religiously and has thriven throughout centuries under the auspices of monarchical or ultra extremist ideologies of authoritarian regimes such as the fascist Franco dictatorship in the case of Spain, and Salazar in Portugal who ruled with an iron fist from the early 1930s to the late 1960s. These two countries are very similar in almost every way but Spain has a sort of an "upper" over Portugal in various historical and cultural elements, including the Portuguese language which is deep rooted in Galicia, Spain. They share very many "cultural values" amongst which hard core paedophilia holds a prominent preference in their depravity condition which they can disguise well. It is possible that most Anglos don't know these and other facts on the Spanish and Portuguese. I know because I am half Spanish myself.

The Mc Cann family better take heed by realising that they are before extremist individuals who with their warped and radical ideologies related to perversion, and combined with great perverted wickedness, fully intended to abduct Madeleine for the purpose of keeping her permanently and impose whatever type of life --or death-- on her according to their plans. I have and will continue to maintain that unless clear evidence beyond any possible doubt shows the contrary, my strong suspicion will keep pointing at the corrupted Portuguese establishment --including the police-- as the culprit responsible for the abduction of Madeleine Mc Cann and other children on behalf of a perverted elite ruling class. All abductions of children in Portugal were a State crime due to their complicity. I base my suspicion on personal knowledge of the Portuguese and Spanish idiosyncrasies, traditions, bloody history, perverted proclivities, criminal mentality, corruption in all areas, and much more. It is based also on the performance by the Portuguese police since the very moment when they were informed about the disappearance of Madeleine. The Portuguese police deliberately failed to perform regular police duties because they already knew about the crime. They have never really searched for the child since they have known all alone what really happened and why.

If the Mc Canns want their daughter back, they should consider seeking the direct involvement of those who have the means, resources and political clout apparently supporting them in the current hell they are now living. In combination with the investigation by private detectives, plus other police agencies unrelated to Portugal, it is possible to discover the truth and find Madeleine.
