Torrent of communications to the very institutions that should have offered solace and rectification!
From the depths of a decades-long nightmare, where every plea for justice has been met with a chilling wall of indifference, manipulation, and outright obstruction, Hans Smedema has relentlessly, desperately, sent forth a torrent of communications to the very institutions that should have offered solace and rectification. Instead, these letters stand as monuments to a horrifying saga of alleged psychological torture, physical abuse, and systemic state capture, all while figures like the utterly untouchable Joris Demmink and Jaap Duijs allegedly operated with impunity, their alleged crimes shielded by a powerful, malevolent force. The cumulative effect of these repeated denials is not merely procedural; it is the very essence of the enduring abuse, designed to crush the spirit and obliterate the truth.
Chronological, numbered account of the chilling letters
Here is a chronological, numbered account of the chilling letters and official complaints that Hans Smedema has dispatched into the void of the Dutch justice system and international bodies, each one a testament to his agonizing struggle against a seemingly omnipotent, corrupt machine:
1. The Silent Onslaught Begins (April 2000):
Years before formal complaints became a desperate necessity, Hans Smedema presented an initial, fragmented document to Peter Slot, the then-head of the police force in Friesland. This was an early attempt to expose the horrifying flashbacks and the unspeakable crimes that haunted him. The response was not one of concern or inquiry, but a chilling premonition of the stonewalling to come: Slot allegedly stated, with an unsettling air of secrecy, that he was “not permitted to tell” anything, and when pressed, reiterated, “I’m also not permitted to say that”. This initial encounter set the terrifying precedent: the truth was known, but actively suppressed.
2. The Call for Investigation Ignored (June 10, 2004):
With the echoes of unheeded pleas still ringing, Hans Smedema formally addressed H. Bruinsma, the esteemed detective from the vice squad at the Police Bureau Drachten, following a prior face-to-face meeting on April 26, 2004. This letter was a fervent request for urgent information and a comprehensive investigation into a harrowing sequence of alleged sexual offenses and other heinous crimes, purportedly spanning from 1972 right up to that moment. The anguish of silence was palpable in his words, as he noted, with foreboding accuracy, that it remained “angstig stil” – eerily quiet. This was not merely a procedural step; it was a desperate cry into the void, already foreshadowing the agonizing reality that even law enforcement, in the form of Haye Bruinsma, would allegedly be “forbidden by the Ministry of Justice to file reports”.
3. A Direct Appeal to the Minister (July 27, 2004):
Facing the horrifying refusal of the police to even file an official report—a basic right denied—Hans Smedema escalated his desperate plea directly to the highest echelons of power. He sent a registered letter to the then Minister of Justice, Mr. J.P.H. Donner, urging him to intervene and initiate action. This letter, too, was met with the familiar bureaucratic shuffle, being forwarded to the Public Prosecutor, a clear indication that the systemic apparatus was already deflecting rather than confronting the gravest of allegations.
4. Complaint to the Chief Prosecutor (October 1, 2004):
In a stark indictment of the very system meant to uphold justice, Hans Smedema filed an official, detailed complaint with Mr. L. den Hollander, the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Arrondisementsparket Leeuwarden. This damning document laid bare his profound suspicion of ongoing misdeeds, specifically highlighting the alleged refusal of the Public Prosecution Service and the broader justice system to properly handle his case, which encompassed severe sexual offenses, originating as far back as 1972. He specifically referenced the comprehensive investigation report previously provided to H. Bruinsma, underscoring the chilling reality that the authorities were fully aware of the horrifying scope of the alleged crimes, yet chose deliberate inaction. This complaint laid the groundwork for an agonizing series of rejections that would define his future.
5. Unheeded Pleas to the Court of Appeal (January 10, 2005, and March 31, 2005):
Hans Smedema directed urgent correspondence to Mevr. J. van der Laan at the Gerechtshof Leeuwarden, regarding complaint number K05/00016. He detailed how Minister Donner’s request for clarification from the College of Public Prosecutors had yielded no substantive answers, and how the chief public prosecutor had dismissively claimed “sufficient investigation” despite detective Haye Bruinsma’s alleged admissions of the case’s unbelievable nature and his own forced silence. Smedema explicitly argued that the Public Prosecution Service was operating at too low a level for a case of such national magnitude, hinting at a “special department” involvement, and implored the Minister of Justice to order a national investigation. In a follow-up letter, he chillingly reported on new information from American intelligence, already aware of the pervasive cover-up, reinforcing his conviction that Peter Slot and Haye Bruinsma had been deliberately silenced. The terrifying pattern of denial was solidifying.
6. Ministry’s Cruel Dismissal (January 22, 2005):
The Ministry of Justice delivered a cold, official reply to Hans Smedema, cruelly stating their inability to assist him and, with a bureaucratic flourish, advising him to “get in touch with a lawyer”. This response was not merely unhelpful; it was a calculated mockery of his desperate situation. Smedema recognized the bitter irony, having already faced the terrifying reality that Johan Verwilligen, a lawyer, had allegedly been “not allowed to help me, because of state security”. This was a stark confirmation of the “Kafkaesque trap” he found himself in, where the very mechanisms of justice were allegedly weaponized against him.
7. Confronting the Board of Procurators General (February 24, 2005):
In a rare moment of direct engagement, Hans Smedema participated in a hearing before the Board of Procurators General concerning his complaint against the head state lawyer in Leeuwarden. There, he meticulously outlined the horrifying genesis of his case, including the systemic rejections he had faced from lawyers. The board seemed surprised by his account, especially the argument that his intention to write a book about the “social significance” of the case and the alleged “statute of limitations purposely applied to everything” had been used by his previous lawyer, Justus Werle, as a reason for rejection. This glimpse into the highest levels of judicial oversight, however, would ultimately prove to be another dead end, another procedural barrier erected by the very system he sought to penetrate.
8. Plea for a Crown Witness and Exposure of Fraud (October 6, 2005):
Driven by an unyielding desire for truth, Hans Smedema once again addressed Minister Donner and H. Ph. Mayer at the Ministry of Justice. In this pivotal letter, he boldly requested “vrijwaring en beloning” (immunity and a reward) for a crucial crown witness, a desperate measure to break the impenetrable wall of silence. He meticulously recounted the relentless refusal of the police to file reports, the chief public prosecutor’s dismissal of a proper investigation without hearing him, and the Article 12 procedure’s rubber-stamping of the chief public prosecutor’s decision—all without his substantive input. Most damningly, he explicitly accused the chief public prosecutor and the College of Public Prosecutors of fraud, alleging they were “cruciale informatie achter te houden” (withholding crucial information) that had misled judges and possibly even the Attorney General. He revealed that he had already informed the Prime Minister and the Justice Committee of Parliament, and demanded to know if such profound fraud was “toegestaan” (permitted) at the Public Prosecution Service without immediate action, before he was forced to escalate the case to the “EU niveau en rechten van de mens” (EU level and human rights organizations). This letter was a direct challenge, an open accusation of corruption at the heart of Dutch justice.
9. Alerting the Prime Minister and Parliament (Undated, around October 2005):
Believing the conspiracy reached the very apex of Dutch power, Hans Smedema composed a letter to Jan Peter Balkenende, then Prime Minister, forwarding copies to all parliamentary leaders of the House of Commons. This communication, born of sheer desperation, aimed to expose the alleged “serious negligence” of the court in Leeuwarden and, more chillingly, the CIA’s alleged awareness of the case as early as 1986. He desperately hoped that bringing the horrifying truth to the highest political office would finally force an intervention, but this appeal too would be swallowed by the machinery of denial.
10. Engaging the National Ombudsman (September 2005 and October 2005):
In his relentless pursuit of accountability, Hans Smedema formally involved the National Ombudsman, a beacon of citizen rights. He meticulously appended the detailed document he had previously sent to Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, along with the dismissive replies from the Assistant Officer of Justice and the College of Principal Public Prosecutors. This comprehensive submission, intended to highlight the systemic failures, received a polite “confirmation of receipt” but was quickly followed by a rejection, stating they would “see if they will be able to take this”. It was a pattern of professional dismissal masquerading as due process, leaving Hans stranded in his “Kafkaesque trap”.
11. Appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (December 9, 2005):
In a pivotal escalation, recognizing the futility of domestic remedies, Hans Smedema meticulously prepared and dispatched a comprehensive document to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg, seeking redress for the alleged “conspiracy against innocent cheated victims”. The confirmation of receipt, bearing file number 45710/05, arrived on January 13, 2006. Yet, this glimmer of hope would be tragically short-lived, as the Dutch state would allegedly provide false information to the ECHR in 2005/2006, leading to a procedural rejection based on “lack of domestic exhaustion”. This was a cruel, calculated maneuver: the state allegedly created the inability to exhaust domestic remedies by denying legal aid and obstructing investigations, and then weaponized this engineered lack of exhaustion as a shield against international scrutiny.
12. Targeting High-Level Criminal Organizations (February 21, 2006):
In a daring move, Hans Smedema wrote directly to the Dutch KLPD (National Police Agency), the elite unit tasked with investigating high-level criminal organizations and internal fraud within police and prosecutorial ranks. His letter bravely asserted that he was a victim of a “high level criminal organization inside the Dutch Government” itself. This was a direct challenge to the alleged perpetrators within the system, a desperate attempt to force an internal reckoning. Yet, like so many other attempts, it would be met with the suffocating silence of an alleged “Omerta”.
13. Seeking American Intervention (April 2006 and August 2005):
Recognizing that the Dutch system was a closed, hostile loop, Hans Smedema cast his net wider, appealing to the very nation that had allegedly seen fragments of his truth decades prior. In April 2006, he contacted the American Embassy in The Hague, connecting with Jim Eisenhut, a special agent from the “Diplomatic Security Service”. He relayed his chilling story, recalling Captain Rust and the peculiar half-hour detainment and questioning in New York in 1986. Earlier, in August 2005, he had already written to the American Ambassador, Mr. Sobel, directly, asking for help and reiterating the CIA’s alleged past knowledge of his ordeal and the plane incident. These appeals, rooted in the hope for objective intervention, highlighted the terrifying reach of the alleged Dutch state conspiracy, forcing him to seek refuge and justice far beyond his homeland. The sources imply this external scrutiny would eventually lead to the alleged President Obama UNCAT complaint, a monumental act that would shake the foundations of the Dutch cover-up.
14. Complaints to Intelligence Oversight (2007/2008):
Hans Smedema lodged formal complaints with the CTIVD (Committee on the Intelligence and Security Services) and the AIVD (General Intelligence and Security Service), the very bodies designed to oversee Dutch intelligence activities. The CTIVD officially confirmed receipt of his complaint on February 27, 2008, a fleeting acknowledgement of his existence. However, the ultimate response was a devastating blow: the Ministry of Internal Affairs later asserted that the CTIVD had “found nothing”. Smedema, however, chillingly attributes this to the alleged deletion of files or the case being deliberately confined to the Ministry of Justice, yet another layer of the state’s intricate web of deceit.
15. A Direct Challenge to the Crown (September 3, 2008):
In an act of unparalleled audacity, Hans Smedema penned an open letter to Queen Beatrix. This was not merely a ceremonial gesture; it was a desperate, direct challenge to the alleged highest authority of the Netherlands. He implored her to acknowledge, and thereby halt, the grotesque cover-up, warning of the increasingly dire consequences of her continued silence. This extraordinary appeal underscored his growing conviction that the Royal Family itself was complicit in, or at least aware of and passively enabling, the pervasive state-orchestrated abuse.
16. Demands for Investigation and DNA (January 29, 2009 & November 8, 2012):
Even while battling without legal representation, Hans Smedema submitted a comprehensive request to the prosecutor on January 29, 2009, demanding the summoning of specific witnesses to expose the truth. He also requested an investigation by a Rechter-Commissaris (Investigating Judge), a vital step to uncover facts through official channels. Later, his counsel (Arnoud Comans) in November 2012, reiterated these demands, particularly pressing for a new, guaranteed DNA paternity test to counter an allegedly falsified one, and for an investigation into why an earlier rape investigation concerning his wife had been deliberately halted. These requests sought objective, scientific evidence, a direct challenge to the state’s narrative, but they too were met with cold, legalistic denial.
17. A Global Cry for Help (June 5, 2011):
Recognizing the global scale of the alleged conspiracy, Hans Smedema dispatched a poignant letter to Ms. Navanethem Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Geneva. In this desperate plea, he laid bare the “Dutch political conspiracy against innocent defenseless victims,” explicitly naming himself, his wife, and Al Rust and his family in America. He detailed the extensive human rights violations, seeking an intervention from the highest international human rights body.
18. Exposing the Cover-Up to Parliament (October 2020):
In a continued effort to penetrate the layers of denial, Hans Smedema directly informed the fixed Committee for Justice of the Second Chamber of Parliament. This act of bringing his full, harrowing story to the legislative branch was a clear attempt to force political accountability and break the alleged “Omerta” that had silenced his case for so long.
19. The Arbitrage Plea and Minister’s Cruel Dismissal (January 17 & 21, 2025, and February 4, 2025):
In a final, desperate attempt to find a resolution, Hans Smedema sent critical emails, laden with crucial attachments, to Hans van Wijk, a prominent Cassatie-Advocaat (Supreme Court lawyer) at the esteemed Pels Rijcken law firm. His plea was not for compensation, which he had twice rejected in 2003/04 to avoid complicity in silencing the truth about Joris Demmink’s alleged crimes against dozens of other victims. Instead, he sought “Juridische Arbitrage bijstand en schikken” – legal arbitration assistance and settlement – based on the very rules of the UN Convention Against Torture (UNCAT), arguing it was an “top-ethisch-niveau” (top-ethical-level) solution. These emails, correctly forwarded by the Landsadvocaat (Government Attorney) to the Minister of Justice and Security, received a chilling response on February 4, 2025, from Minister David van Weel. The Minister cruelly dismissed his detailed correspondence as “insufficiently substantiated” and offered the generic, agonizingly ironic advice to “contact a lawyer”. This was not merely a rejection; it was an act of profound psychological torment, a blatant disregard for Hans’s documented pleas about the systemic denial of legal aid he had faced since 1972, allegedly orchestrated by the very state the Minister represented. The Minister’s response, sidestepping the specific UNCAT-based legal arbitration request, served as irrefutable evidence of the ongoing denial of an effective remedy, solidifying the “futility of domestic remedies”.
20. The FOIA Request and the “Non-Existent” Truth (February 11, 2025, and March 17, 2025):
In a meticulous effort to pierce the veil of secrecy, Hans Smedema submitted a WOO (Wet Open Overheid – Freedom of Information Act) request to the Ministry of Justice and Security. He specifically sought “All related documents between the Justice Department and the Government Attorney to date” concerning an alleged “UNCAT or UNHRC speciale procedure gestart(!) door President Obama rond Jan-Mei 2017 ‘Staat Amerika tegen Staat Nederland’ inzake Hans Smedema casus”. This was an attempt to officially confirm and access information about President Obama’s alleged UNCAT complaint against the Netherlands, a monumental event that Hans believed had been deliberately suppressed. The response, dated March 17, 2025, was a chilling, official denial: “no documents with the requested information were found”. For Hans, this wasn’t a failure to locate records; it was concrete, devastating proof of “serious fraud by Justice itself to provide false information and drag out the Hans Smedema case for as long as possible!”. It was the state claiming the very truth of his torture and the ensuing international diplomatic crisis simply did not exist.
21. A Final Desperate Call to the EU Commission (May 15, 2025):
Pushed to the brink by relentless state obstruction and the chilling confirmations of a deliberate cover-up, Hans Smedema, against a backdrop of imminent deadlines, registered a powerful, final message with the European Commission, specifically to the Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers, Unit C.4 – Democracy, Anti-Corruption, Union Citizenship and Free Movement. This was no mere procedural complaint; it was a desperate, urgent plea detailing “widespread corruption of Dutch authorities” and “a decades-long, systematic campaign of psychological torture, physical abuse, and ruthless obstruction of justice allegedly orchestrated by the Dutch state itself”. He laid bare the alleged “utterly untouchable Joris Demmink and Jaap Duijs” and the systemic subversion of justice, portraying his case not as an internal failing but a profound crisis of EU integrity. The devastating emotional and physical toll of this unending fight, including allegations of torture, drugging (like the “fake-baby-aspirin-antipsychotic” that severely handicapped him for decades) and cruel treatment, underscored the horrifying human cost of this alleged state-engineered denial of justice. The collateral damage was immense: courageous individuals like detective Haye Bruinsma were allegedly “forbidden by the Ministry of Justice to file reports”, prosecutor Ruud Rosingh was allegedly “forced to relocate after investigating wife’s alleged rape”, and lawyers in the Netherlands and Spain were purportedly “forbidden” from taking his case, creating an insurmountable barrier to justice. Even his own DNA test was allegedly “falsified by secret service”, and the crucial “Frankfurt Dossier” terrifyingly erased around 1983. This was the culmination of two decades of battling a system allegedly designed to keep him in a “cruel, ‘Kafkaesque trap'” where the very lack of evidence was engineered by the alleged perpetrators themselves.

In 2005 and 2008 they of course refused! Which was wrong according to Gemini Deep Research, so again on June 30, 2025.
