I have known of similar cases as yours here in the US where "law enforcement" have persecuted and tortured people. Some unto death.

If anyone reading this finds your account hard to fathom, I assure people it does indeed happen. The amount of time, energy, money and other resources wasted on such horrors is staggering.

I applaud you for remaining sane throughout. Not easy. It takes a great deal of courage to publish.

God Bless.

16 I saw something else under the sun: In the place where justice should be, there was wickedness, and in the place for righteousness, there was wickedness. 17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked. Yes, there will be a time for every case to be settled before God.”

18 So I said in my heart, “This is done so that God can test the children of Adam, so that they can see what animals they are if left to themselves.”

Ecclesiastes 3:16-18

We live in a world where justice is elusive and rarely obtainable. What you've endured, bravely, tenaciously, courageously, unrelentingly, is evidence of the devolution of humankind and the utter preoccupation of our fellow humans with indulging their basest predilections. It is impossible (especially for me as a man without any personal reference points for what has occurred in your case) to imagine the pain, humiliation, frustration and outrage that your mistreatment, stonewalling and the dismissive trivialization of your suffering and indignation have aroused.

I pray that you can find peace and if possible, resolution, Restitution seems elusive and may in some ways prove hollow (not unwarranted or worthless, by any stretch of the imagination).

The longer their reprehensible serial actions and unresponsive, ineffectual and outright ignorance and avoidance of your plight continue, and the longer you remain in any way debilitated by it or the events all summed together, the more they continue to exercise their brutality and control of you. Their degradations and insults - their reduction of you to entertainment and mocking, ridicule and their denial of the wounds inflicted, and the longer it has a hold on you, the greater the damage they've done.

I commend your efforts, and also hope that you can detach and let go of all of the correspondingly (justifiable but unhealthy) angst that remains...so you can be truly free of them. I am not saying let it go altogether -- I am suggesting that you no longer give them ground but take it back and reclaim your life, learn from the scars, and the evil perpetuated against you and move forward with deliberation and purpose, in the freedom of the present, no longer captive to the unjust and unimaginable pain of the past...for YOUR sake.

All of the energy expended to punish and to bring to light the deeds done in darkness has cost you even more than what they unrighteously and unlawfully took. There will recompense (you may or may not see that day for them) -- grab a hold of your life and find that which you've been denied in other ways and in other people you love and care for who will reciprocate for no reason other than they can and wish to do so and regain your life and all it offers you that is good and decent and undefiled. You are amazing and treasured and worthy of so much more and you have the ability to step over their already dead and decaying malicious lives to grasp the happiness that is yours and the acceptance and affirmation of those who see you, know you and care for you, and who recognize your value and worth independent of the things that were used to try and diminish you and rob you of your life. You are stronger, fiercer, and wiser now and you have learned from their unjustifiable and baseless participation in the behaviors that evidence their own empty and illicit deficiencies -- you are the survivor and you cannot be defeated and left a victim but can stand proudly in confident expectation of what is yet before you. Blessings.
