Dear Sir/Madam:

In collaboration with a national NGO, I am in the process of drafting requests for international organizations to inspect Human Rights conditions in Los Angeles County, California. The evidence showed a practice by authorities in this county of coerced hospitalization of persons who filed complaints alleging official corruption.   One notable case of this type today, is of Attorney Richard Isaac Fine, a 70 year old, former United States prosecutor, who was taken on March 4, 2009, in the court of Judge David Yaffe, Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, in the City of Los Angeles, by the Sheriff's Warrant Detail, albeit -  with no warrant at all.  Mr Fine has been held confined in a hospital room ever since, and has been made to wear a wrist-band all these months, as if he were a patient in a hospital.  However, such hospitalization was with no medical justification at all. Furthermore, Mr Fine is held with no records for his arrest and booking, as stated in responses of Sheriff Lee Baca to requests to access such records pursuant to the California Public Records Act. Instead, the Sheriff's Department created false listing in its online Inmate Information Center, purporting the Mr Fine was arrested and booked by the non-existent Municipal Court of the City of San Pedro, California. 

The coerced hospitalization of Mr Richard Isaac Fine is by now approaching the end of its first full year, and is part of practice that is nothing more than falsely holding of political dissidents as a political prisoners under the guise of hospitalization.  Of particular concern were such coerced hospitalizations in psychiatric wards, which were reported by other dissidents. Such persons reported that they were also coerced to intake psychiatric medications, again, with no medical justification at all.

Input of your Good Offices is sought in this matter, so that the letter being drafted would be balanced and reflect your opinions in this matter as well.

Respectfully,

Subject: Request for input from Offices of Los Angeles District Attorney, Sheriff, and California Attorney General, regarding large-scale false imprisonments in Los Angeles County, California

Dear Sir/Madam:

In collaboration with a national NGO, I am in the process of drafting requests for international organizations to inspect Human Rights conditions in Los Angeles County, California. The evidence showed a pattern of large-scale false imprisonments practiced by the authorities of this county over more than a decade, with full knowledge of United States agencies. [1]

Such false imprisonments, of unprecedented historic proportions, were documented already in the Rampart scandal investigation (1998-2000).  Of the many thousands who were then stated as falsely imprisoned, hardly any were freed to this date.  A 2006 official report of the LAPD's Blue Ribbon Review Panel, repeated such finding, stating "innocent people remain in prison". The 2006 report also documented authorities of this county as insisting on continuing the false imprisonments, including judges, prosecutors, and police leaders.

Review of current data in the online Inmate Information Center of the Sheriff's Department of Los Angeles County, likewise, documented large-scale jailings by the Sheriff's Department under false records.  Moreover,  the Sheriff's Department continued its refusal to allow access to California public records, which were the arrest and booking papers of those jailed. Combined, such findings raised further concern regarding the scope of false imprisonments, and the intentional practice of such abuses by authorities.

Input of your Good Offices is sought in these matters, so that the letter being drafted would be balanced and reflect your opinions as well.
