...this is a must read for those following the marriage to my husband Bradley Agius (541489M); however, the attached document written by my husband (mentioned above), went to the police commissioner written in 2013 and denied an appointment; and my complaint/copy went missing in their files... an appointment I was denied.
Here is his letter...
Dear Mr Peppi Azzopardi,
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss my recent experiences during the last few months.
My wife and I got married in Cyprus and came back from our honeymoon in August.
When we came back we were living with my parents until such time as we got back on our feet.
At one point we had a personal argument and my mother got her hands on a letter which my wife addressed to me and was sent to her by mistake, she used this letter to ostracize my wife from the family house.
As a result of this we went to stay with my father's side of the family (grand parents) for a while, since my mother's father took his daughter's side as well.
The problem was that living at my grand parent's house we could not get away from the abuse which my mum and her father hurled on my wife, and as a result we were constantly fighting so we left the place and went to Bugibba.
We stayed in Bugibba for a while and people helped us for food, a very kind woman also helped us with accommodation for 1 week but we had to leave because we could not pay the rent. At this point we decided to go and try our luck in Gozo and we went and set up our tent behind the Ta Pinu Church. We were doing really well there for a couple of weeks, the problems started when we were going to get left over bread from a local bakery which we had gotten permission to do so and we were stopped by detectives. They took us to the police station and interrogated us together and then separately. I was denied access to speak with my wife being asked 'what do you need to talk to her for?' by one of the detectives. We were told that homelessness is illegal and thus they denied us the access to stay in Gozo
Then they started defaming my wife with abusive remarks some of which included;
-that she used me and she stole all my money
- that she is Australian and she has aids
-that she is to old for me and in a few years won't have kids.
Then one of the detectives wanted to speak to me alone in the rear yard of the police station.
We had a very long conversation were at one point had practically offered to pull some strings and guarantee me a job as a police inspector since I have a university degree but I had to sever all contact with my wife to do so. He also promised to help me with getting my marriage annulled if I so wished.
The detectives were pretty adamant in trying their best to separate me and my wife from each other which is our legal right.
They tried to put us in separate shelters, when we refused they send they would send us to the hospital instead and still we would be separated. Then they called my father to come pick me up at the police station to take me back to Malta, they were specific they we were not allowed to stay in Gozo. They practically gave me a choice between going back with my father and sleeping in a cell and being taken to court the following day. I was only allowed to speak with my wife once and then only for a few minutes in the presence of the whole station before they took her back in another room and closed the door. I did not want to leave the police station without my wife but I was eventually bullied and physically pushed to my father's car to take me back home.
Before leaving I turned and asked one of the detectives once more if he was denying me the right to speak to my wife and he answered 'get me the marriage certificate and you can speak with her as much as you want '.
I was distraught and did not know what else to do while in my father's car on our way to catch the ferry. When we were almost at the ferry a car stopped and a my wife came running out of it and ran to my father's car. I got out to speak with her and my wife and I pleaded with my father to let us in in the car and he agreed.
The detectives were there in the car just waiting and looking at what was happening but did not interfere.
In the end my dad drove to the ferry and they told us it was not over yet.
We got back to Malta and went and thanked my Dad who dropped us off in Paceville, but our troubles were far from over; the next day my wife was physically assaulted by my Grandpa in public causing her injuries and hitting me as well. At this point we decided to try and seek the aid of an organization to help us with accommodation but were told that only YMCA provided shelter to couples and they were full. Under no circumstance are we going to accept to live in separate places since we are married and it is our right to live together.
Right now we are doing really tough, we are getting help from a bakery who give us left over bread and pastizzi and some help from a few priests. We also have a problem with transportation and have to walk almost everywhere since we cannot even afford bus tickets most of the time. We are also having problems with accommodation as well.
We have already written a formal complaint in writing to the police
commissioner and are in the process of arranging a meeting with him, we also are trying to set up a meeting with the prime minister but we have not had any luck so far.
We talked to a young lady and she was the one who suggested we speak with Peppi Azzopardi directly and that he can help us with our current predicament.
During our experience we have found that the agencies involved; government and non government agencies alike are not suited to cater for couples with our problems.
YMCA are the only shelter in Malta who accept couples and families and they are always full, and it is not fair to separate people who have the legal right to live together.
However to be fair the YMCA did help us with clothes donations and a warm cup of coffee when we need it.
