I, Jan Marek Kant of 3/33 Bewdley Street, Ormond VIC, litigant, affirm:
- I am the Applicant.
- I make this affidavit in support of my 18 Jul 2024 (amended) interlocutory application.
- I know there exists (or has existed) a conspiracy to obtain information, from me and about me, that:
(a) I know to have involved members of parliament and officers of the Commonwealth; and,
(b) I believe to have involved one or more persons acting for the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation; and,
(c) I suspect to have involved one or more officers of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service; and,
(d) I suspect to have involved one or more officers of the Australian Signals Directorate; and,
(e) I know to have involved one or more (commissioned) officers of the Royal Australian Air Force acting in that capacity; and,
(f) I know to have involved two or more (uniformed) members of South Australia Police acting in that capacity. - I know one or more persons acting for the United States Central Intelligence Agency obtained information from me and about me. I believe one or more such persons acted for, or in conspiracy with, one or more Australian government or political organisations.
5.I know there exists (or has existed), since not later than April 2017, a conspiracy to obtain information, from me and about me, of a kind that may be given in evidence against me in criminal proceedings.
- I know there presently exists a conspiracy to obtain information, from me and about me, by means of intendedly-covert (or pretendedly intendedly-covert) experimentation with me, that:
(a) I believe also interferes with my access to information, including legal information; and,
(b) I believe also seeks to keep me “removed from the protection of the law”; and,
(c) I know to have involved psychiatric experimentation on me (to which I have not consented); and,
3
(d) I believe to involve one or more law enforcement and/or intelligence agencies; and,
(e) I suspect to involve members of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, and,
(f) I suspect to involve officers of the courts; and,
(g) I suspect to have political aims.
- I believe the aforementioned conspiracies are all one conspiracy or components of the same conspiracy. My belief is largely based on:
(a) observed similarities of information sought to be obtained from me; and,
(b) observed, uninterrupted, continuation of the conspiracy (or component conspiracies) since not later than April 2017. - I suspect the registry of the Supreme Court of Victoria in Melbourne is not ordinarily located at the “old High Court” building at 442-460 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC.

Around April 2017, I became aware of my being subject to covert experimentation by my associates for purposes concerning law enforcement. Continuing experimentation for purposes concerning law enforcement subsequently included experimentation by two or more members of my immediate family.
Around July 2018, I became aware of my being subject to covert experimentation for purposes of national security. This became apparent on attempt to procure from me pertinent information by my associate with whom I was acquainted for not fewer than 10 preceding years. I presently believe, and believed at time of the attempt, this person to work for the state security agency (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation). Cause for my becoming acquainted with a person who works for the state security agency is unknown to me.
In August 2018, I commenced employment at the Australian “Defence Science and Technology Group” (DST). My coworkers there, and other people in and around the workplace, persistently experimented with me from time of my commencement until resignation.
In November 2018, I observed the same pattern of experimentation continued while I vacationed in Thailand, including by persons known to me before 2014 and with no apparent involvement in such experimentation before 2018. Participants included a Thai person who finally ceased to be my partner in 2014-15 and also one of my immediate family members.
In 2019, my supervisor at DST (unintendedly) confirmed to me that the matter also involved one or more elected members of the federal parliament.
Around May 2023, I sought access to relevant information at the state security agency. A letter I sent to the agency on 18 May is enclosed in annexure to this notification.
Around 09 July 2023, I made a complaint about the state office of inquiry into intelligence and security agencies (Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security) to the “national regulator for privacy and freedom of information”. Relevant pages of the complaint record are annexed to this notification. The regulator refused to act on the complaint.
Beginning around 30 August 2023, I sought from Australian courts “writ of habeas corpus” with orders preventing public officials from experimenting with me. The document with which I first sought to commence relevant proceedings in the federal supreme court (High Court of Australia) is enclosed in annexure to this notification.
On 19 November 2023, I made a complaint about covert experimentation with me to the state office of inquiry into intelligence and security agencies. A record of the information I provided in my complaint (and of the complaint form) to the office is enclosed in annexure to this notification. Note that “Jarosz” was my surname before 2022.

Around 04 January 2024, I commenced a proceeding against the office of inquiry into intelligence and security agencies in the state supreme court (of Victoria). Relevant documents filed in the proceeding are enclosed in annexure to this notification. The proceeding is stalled until the “writ of habeas corpus” I seek takes effect.
On 12 February 2024, I produced an affidavit in support of my application for “writ of habeas corpus” to the state supreme court. Relevant parts of the affidavit and documents produced to the court in accompaniment are enclosed in annexure to this notification.
On 15 February 2024, the state supreme court refused to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus”. The relevant notice is enclosed in annexure to this notification.
Sometime in 2023 or 2024, the former partner mentioned above expressly confirmed that she is a “spook”. This was noted in a document I enclosed in complaint to the “national regulator for privacy and freedom of information”. Cause for my becoming partnered with a person who works for an intelligence agency is unknown to me, as are her reasons for confirming same when I questioned it.
I continue to seek “writ of habeas corpus” from Australian courts despite both state and federal supreme courts having refused to consider my applications on pretence of “abuse of process”.
I intend to make a notification to the Human Rights Committee about related interferences if and when the need arises. The present notification treats similar matter but is constrained in scope to provisions of Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT).
Experimentation described above involved participation of all three remaining members of my nuclear family, one of whom could be induced to participate with law enforcement machinery. Machinery that could induce the other members to attempt covert experimentation with me, for purposes concerning law enforcement or national security, is unknown to me.
I’ll provide further information and/or documents as required. I don’t have medical reports.
- Claim. Please explain how and why you consider that the facts and circumstances described violate your rights/ the victim(s)’ rights. Please specify which rights you consider to have been violated (if possible, identify the articles under the relevant treaty) [word limit 600]
The relevant State(s) Party contravened CAT Articles 12 and 13, likely also Article 10, as extended by Article 16.
It is for the Committee to determine whether pain and suffering intentionally inflicted by the State(s) Party constitutes “torture” per CAT Article 1; if so, the relevant State(s) Party also contravened Articles 2, 6 and 7.
It appears the relevant State(s) Party may have also contravened CAT Articles 4 and 5.
CAT Article 22 clause 5(b) is satisfied despite my continuing to seek relief by domestic remedies.

Since 25 August 2023, I have sought from Australian courts a “writ of habeas corpus” to release me from detention by persons acting in an official capacity.
On 15 September 2023, a Judge of the federal supreme court (High Court of Australia) ordered that the court not hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus” on grounds of “abuse of process”.
Since 18 November 2023, I have sought “writ of habeas corpus” from the state supreme court (Supreme Court of Victoria).
On 07 December 2023, the High Court of Australia refused my application for leave to appeal from the order that the same court not hear my application.
On 08 December 2023, I claimed relief in the superior court of federal jurisdiction (Federal Court of Australia) in respect of the High Court of Australia having unduly denied me “writ of habeas corpus”.
On 11 December 2023, the Federal Court of Australia notified me of refusing to hear my claim to relief in respect of the High Court of Australia having unduly denied me “writ of habeas corpus” on grounds of “abuse of process”.
On 16 February 2024, the Supreme Court of Victoria notified me of refusing to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus” on grounds of irregularity in form.
On 02 March 2024, I applied to the Supreme Court of Victoria for judicial review of a decision to refuse to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus”.
On 14 March 2024, the Supreme Court of Victoria notified me of having on 05 March 2024 refused to hear my application for judicial review of its decision to refuse to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus” on grounds of “abuse of process’.
On 17 March 2024, I claimed relief in the High Court of Australia in form of instruments requiring the Supreme Court of Victoria to determine my application for judicial review of its decision to refuse to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus”.
On 22 March 2024, the High Court of Australia notified me of refusing to my claim to relief in form of instruments requiring the Supreme Court of Victoria to determine my application for judicial review of its decision to refuse to hear my application for “writ of habeas corpus” on grounds of irregularity in form.
17
On 22 March 2024, I applied to the Supreme Court of Victoria for judicial review of conduct of the High Court of Australia in the exercise of judicial power, seeking relief in form of orders voiding, in and for the state, federal legislation which I presently believe to interfere with access to information about my detention and which the High Court of Australia erroneously failed or refused to strike down. This is not an “available domestic remedy” reasonably within its meaning in the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
I’ll provide further information and/or documents as required.
- Claim. Please explain how and why you consider that the facts and circumstances described violate your rights/ the victim(s)’ rights. Please specify which rights you consider to have been violated (if possible, identify the articles under the relevant treaty) [word limit 600]

Right to have competent authorities provided by the State, for determining claims to remedies to violations of rights or freedoms as recognised in the Covenant, is implicit to clause 3(b) of Article 2.
Australian courts failed to decide without delay on the lawfulness of my detention. The State thus contravened Article 9, paragraph 4 of the Covenant; and,
Australian courts refused to determine my claim to remedy to failure by Australian courts to decide without delay on lawfulness of my detention. The State thus contravened Article 2, paragraph 3 of the Covenant; and,
There is no public emergency which threatens the life of the nation and the existence of which is officially proclaimed. The State thus contravened Article 4, paragraph 1 of the Covenant.
Article 5, clause 2(b) of the Optional Protocol is satisfied as to rights in Article 9 of the Covenant.

The (federal) statute “National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004” (enclosed) is contrary to the Australian Constitution
“Division 104” of the (federal) statutory provision “Criminal Code” (enclosed) is contrary to the Australian Constitution.
I am substantially inconvenienced by the continuing existence of these laws.
On 03 April 2024, I attempted to commence a proceeding, in the federal supreme court, seeking that these items of legislation are struck down.
On 09 April 2024, the federal supreme court informed me of having rejected my documents because of their irregularities.
Having addressed the irregularities I was informed of, I attempted to commence a substantially similar proceeding on 09 April 2024.
On 17 April 2024, the federal supreme court informed me of having rejected my revised documents.
My understanding is the federal supreme court’s refusal to consider the matter is symptom of a political conspiracy; this is how democracy works in Australia. Remedy must include the same becoming public knowledge.
Relevant documents and correspondence with the court are enclosed. Also attached, for context, is an extract of an affidavit I made on 12-FEB-2024.
- Claim. Please explain how and why you consider that the facts and circumstances described violate your rights/ the victim(s)’ rights. Please specify which rights you consider to have been violated (if possible, identify the articles under the relevant treaty) [word limit 600]
A right of having laws and other measures provided by the state, as may be necessary to give effect to human rights, is implicit to Article 2 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; being a court of “common law”, the federal supreme court’s refusal to consider the matter is an infraction upon this right.
A right of having claims to remedy determined by competent judicial authorities is implicit to Article 2 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the federal supreme court’s refusal to consider the matter is an infraction upon this right.
3
26
A right of exhausting domestic remedies is implicit to Article 2 of Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the federal supreme court’s refusal to consider the matter must be taken to exhaust all available domestic remedies, else this right would be violated.
The relevant items of legislation are themselves contrary to several rights and freedoms as recognised in the ICCPR.
See also the enclosed Parts VIIIB & VIIC of “Judiciary Act 1908” (highlights added) in relation to the court’s 17-APR-2024 suggestion that I seek legal advice. Note that my having been employed in the “Defence Science and Technology Group” makes me a person who has been “an officer of, or a person employed by … the Commonwealth”.
I’ll provide further information and/or documents as required.

On 14 November 2023, I complained to the “National Anti-Corruption Commission” (see the enclosed Part 3 of “National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022”) of corrupt conduct of a federal government agency.
On 12 December 2023, the “National Anti-Corruption Commission” informed me of his/their decision regarding my 14 November 2023 complaint, and thereby committed a crime of corruption.
On 20 December 2023, I sought prosecution of the “National Anti-Corruption Commission(er)” (NACC) with a request made to the (federal) director of public prosecutions.
On 21 December 2023, the director of public prosecutions denied my request and informed
that, before the prosecutor decides whether to commence prosecution, a brief of evidence must first be produced by a government investigative agency.
On 21 December 2023, I complained to the “Australian Human Rights Commission(er)”(AHRC) about the crime committed by NACC and refusal to prosecute by the director of public prosecutions. I requested (with words taken from “Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986”) AHRC to investigate the matter and produce a brief of evidence, and to act to ensure the prosecution of NACC.
By end of 22 January 2024, it became apparent that AHRC and I differ in our understandings of his legal obligations.
Beginning 25 January 2024, I sought to commence a proceeding against AHRC in the state supreme court. Around 15 February 2024, the state supreme court informed of having refused to hear this and another matter I sought to bring before it.
On 02 March 2024, I sought judicial review of the state supreme court’s refusal decision on a ground of unlawfulness arising because of the “Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006” (of the state of Victoria). Around 05 March 2024, the state supreme court informed of having refused to undertake the sought judicial review because of the merits of the earlier decision.
On 17 March 2024, I sought judicial review of the state supreme court’s 05 March 2024 refusal decision by the federal supreme court. On 22 March 2024, the federal supreme court informed of having refused to hear the matter because of irregularity in form.
Having corrected the indicated irregularities, I sought judicial review of the state supreme court’s 05 March 2024 refusal decision by the federal supreme court again on 22 March 2024.

33
On 26 March 2024, the federal supreme court informed of having refused to hear the matter for reasons as given on 22 March 2024.
My understanding is NACC and the state and federal supreme courts are each participant in the same larger conspiracy. Remedy must include the same becoming public knowledge.
11 Claim. Please explain how and why you consider that the facts and circumstances described violate your rights/ the victim(s)’ rights. Please specify which rights you consider to have been violated (if possible, identify the articles under the relevant treaty) [word limit 600]
I assert that the right to “equality before the law’, as in Article 7 of Universal Declaration of
Human Rights and section 8 of “Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006”, is the same right recognised in Articles 14 ICCPR and of schedule 2 of “Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986” with the words: “All persons shall be equal before the courts and tribunals’.
Refusal to prosecute NACC is infraction upon a right to “equality before the law’. All available domestic remedies are exhausted.
Article 2 of the Optional Protocol is satisfied with respect to a right in Article 14 ICCPR; and,
Article 2 of the Optional Protocol is satisfied with respect to a right to “equality before the law’, as in Article 7 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, by fact of it being the same right as recognised in Article 14 ICCPR; and,
Article 2 of the Optional Protocol is satisfied with respect to a right to “equality before the law’, as in Article 7 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, because all rights recognised in Universal Declaration of Human Rights are also recognised in ICCPR by extension of Article 5 ICCPR.

If domestic remedies have not been exhausted, please state why [word limit 2,500]
On 19 November 2023, I complained to the “Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security” (IGIS) of an entity or group collecting information about me experimentally. I also made known my belief that it involved one or more “intelligence” agencies.
Around 20 December 2023, I commenced a proceeding against IGIS in the state supreme court. On grounds of unlawfulness of conduct of one or more public authorities arising under the “Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006” (of Victoria), I sought from IGIS descriptions of persons involved in covert experimentation with me and of persons involved in covert examination of me or my affairs.
I was not informed of the IGIS having decided not to inquire into, or not to inquire further into, my 19 Nov 2023 complaint.
I am unsure to what extent “intelligence” agencies continue to participate in the experimental collection of information about me; however, experimental collection of information about me continues without pause since a time I know one or more “intelligence” agencies to have participated.
I expect that going ahead with the proceeding I commenced against IGIS around 20 Dec 2023 would result in it being used to collect more information about me experimentally. I also expect that I won’t be given access to the information that I want, regardless of the strength of my argument.
I can’t attempt to fix the problem if I don’t know who is causing it.
Relevant documents filed with the state supreme court are enclosed. Also attached, for context, are materials I produced in proceeding against the “Australian Information Commissioner’.
- Claim. Please explain how and why you consider that the facts and circumstances described violate your rights/ the victim(s)’ rights. Please specify which rights you consider to have been violated (if possible, identify the articles under the relevant treaty) [word limit 600]
Right of effective remedy to infraction upon human rights by persons acting in an official capacity is implicit to clause 3(a) of Article 2.
Right of effective remedy to any unlawful infraction upon human rights is implicit to clause 3(b) of Article 2.

40
Right of making a claim to remedy is implicit to clause 3(b) of Article 2.
Right of having competent authorities provided by the State is implicit to clause 3(b) of Article 2.
Right of having claims to remedy determined by the relevant authorities is implicit to clause 3(b) of Article 2.
Right to competent enforcement of human rights is implicit to clause 3(c) of Article 2.
The relevant State(s) Party to the Optional Protocol violated rights implicit to Article 2 of the Covenant.
Right to having all domestic remedies deemed exhausted, if the application of such remedies is unreasonably prolonged, is implicit to Articles 2 & 5 of the Optional Protocol.
Nothing more can reasonably be done; all domestic remedies must be deemed exhausted and Article 2 of Optional Protocol satisfied.
