Kent Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities 15 25 Sigourney Street - 7th Floor Hartford, CT 06106 16 17 18 19 Recorded By: 20 Donna L. Peluso 21 Transcribed By: Donna L. Peluso 22 Court Recording Monitor 20 Franklin Square 23 New Britain, CT 860-515-5380 Ext. 3080 24 25 26 27 2 1 (In open court). 2 THE COURT: Good morning. 3 ATTY. KENT: Good morning, Your Honor. 4 THE COURT: May I have your name, sir? 5 ATTY. KENT: Attorney David Kent for the Commission on 6 Human Rights and Opportunities. 7 MR. MEHDI: Good morning. Ajmal Mehdi, pro se, for a 8 case against Human Rights and Opportunities. 9 THE COURT: I wanted to start, if I could, Mr. Kent -- 10 you can sit down, if you like, sir. 11 THE COURT MONITOR: Your Honor, before you begin. 12 THE COURT: Yeah. 13 THE COURT MONITOR: I just wanted to remind the 14 plaintiff that you need to keep your voice up, because we 15 are recording today, and I need to hear you. 16 MR. MEHDI: Okay. Right. 17 THE COURT MONITOR: You're fine so far, yes. 18 MR. MEHDI: Plus, I apologize, because it's not my 19 personal language: English. I may make mistake in the 20 language so... 21 THE COURT: Mr. Kent, can you -- 22 ATTY. KENT: Yes, Your Honor. 23 THE COURT: -- as I understand it, 46a-83(b) allows for 24 something called a "merit assessment review" by your agency? 25 ATTY. KENT: That's correct, Your Honor. 26 THE COURT: And that merit assessment review, if I'm 27 right, when someone files a, what they call a "complaint" or 3 1 an "affidavit of complaint" -- 2 ATTY. KENT: Yes. 3 THE COURT: -- or something or other with your staff. 4 ATTY. KENT: Um-hm. 5 THE COURT: Then their job is to, is to review it as an 6 initial point? 7 ATTY. KENT: That's correct. 8 THE COURT: And then if they check that off and it goes 9 beyond that, it has other -- there are other things that 10 kick in like fact finding and perhaps a hearing and so 11 forth. 12 ATTY. KENT: Precisely. 13 THE COURT: But the initial step, someone on your staff 14 is assigned to look into the merit assessment review? 15 ATTY. KENT: That's correct, Your Honor. 16 THE COURT: And one of the things that you look for -- 17 and this is all in the statute -- 18 ATTY. KENT: Um-hm. 19 THE COURT: -- it says that you can look to see whether 20 the complaint fails to state a claim, or whether there's no 21 reasonable possibility that an investigation will result in 22 a finding of reasonable cause -- 23 ATTY. KENT: Um-hm. 24 THE COURT: -- as one of the things. Another thing you 25 do is check to see whether the complaint, respondent of the 26 complaint is exempt from the coverage of the civil rights 27 laws of the -- 4 1 ATTY. KENT: That's right. 2 THE COURT: -- of the CHRO statutes. 3 And in this case, a determination was made under 4 46a-83(b) that, in fact, the respondent here was -- which is 5 Associated Press, which -- who hasn't appeared by the way. 6 They were one of -- they possibly could have appeared 7 today -- 8 ATTY. KENT: (Overlapping) They -- 9 THE COURT: -- but they have chosen -- 10 ATTY. KENT: -- had that -- 11 THE COURT: -- they've chosen not to appear? 12 ATTY. KENT: They had that option. That's my 13 understanding, yes. 14 THE COURT: All right. Well, in any event, they, your 15 staff party -- 16 ATTY. KENT: Um-hm. 17 THE COURT: -- felt that they were not covered, or they 18 were a exempt party. Right? 19 ATTY. KENT: That's correct, Your Honor. 20 THE COURT: And you informed the plaintiff here of that 21 fact? 22 ATTY. KENT: We did. 23 THE COURT: And he made a -- he made a motion to 24 reconsider. 25 ATTY. KENT: That's correct. 26 THE COURT: I think that's jurisdictional, am I right? 27 In order to take an appeal, do you have to make a motion to 5 1 reconsider? 2 In other words to take an administrative appeal under 3 4-183 -- it sticks in the back of mind -- 4 ATTY. KENT: Yeah. 5 THE COURT: -- in any event, he did. Right? 6 ATTY. KENT: He did. I don't think you have to. I 7 think if he didn't, then that would be the final agency 8 action. The dismissal and -- 9 THE COURT: (Overlapping) All right. Well, he did so 10 the reconsideration becomes the final agency action? 11 ATTY. KENT: That's correct. Right. 12 THE COURT: And in that reconsideration, the agency 13 again adhered to the standard that there was an exemption. 14 Right? 15 ATTY. KENT: That's correct, yep. 16 THE COURT: So now we come to you, Mr. Mehdi. Thank 17 you for filling me in on that. 18 ATTY. KENT: You're welcome, Your Honor. 19 THE COURT: Why should we change the law or the ruling 20 that the agency has given here that the AP was exempt from 21 coverage? 22 If they're exempt, and the action taken under 46a-83(b) 23 applies, your case fails. Why should -- that's the only 24 issue here. If they were wrong, obviously, the court is 25 going to hold that they were wrong, and that you're entitled 26 to go further, as I said: fact finding, hearings, remedies. 27 But if they're right, you lose. And why are they wrong? 6 1 MR. MEHDI: Your Honor -- 2 THE COURT: That's all I want to know. 3 MR. MEHDI: Yeah. The -- 4 THE COURT: I don't want to know about what you would 5 have published, or why you're here. I want to know why they 6 were wrong. 7 MR. MEHDI: As long as you're doing business in the 8 state of Connecticut, according to the tax laws, they are 9 liable for any print or misprint they do in their network or 10 journalism. 11 The code of journalism, if we read that, it says -- 12 THE COURT: Wait a minute now. Again, we're not 13 talking about tax laws. We're talking about the -- nor are 14 we talking about whether you can sue them directly in the 15 court of law for violating some right of yours or doing 16 something wrong. We're only talking about one thing and one 17 thing only: what did the CHRO do wrong in their merit 18 assessment review in deciding that this respondent, AP, was 19 exempt from our public accommodations laws? 20 MR. MEHDI: The reason that Human Rights and 21 Opportunities Department, I pursued the case against, 22 because I called them every time I tried to publish 23 something, and there's no -- 24 THE COURT: Who did you call? Who did you call? 25 MR. MEHDI: Human rights and Opportunities Department. 26 THE COURT: Right. 27 MR. MEHDI: And I send them a copy every time I tried 7 1 to publish something, and there is no one gives us 2 opportunity to speak our mind. 3 It seems like victim of slavery, I can say, or maybe 4 prison camp of slavery. That we should have proper 5 opportunities. Like, Associated Press give privilege to 6 only certain people. 7 Whenever I tried to publish -- last week 8 (indiscernible) judge, we have a political party even -- and 9 I kept calling Associated Press. I kept calling every 10 single newspaper, news channel, no one ever showed up. 11 I was crying home. I says this is the simple example 12 how we go through in American justice system. And who is 13 responsible for this? Human Rights and Opportunity, because 14 they should have jurisdiction to enforce these agencies to 15 give us full opportunity like other have. 16 It's a last week event was done on March 23rd, on, in, 17 on North Main Street, Bristol, Connecticut. I call every 18 single agencies, only Bristol Press showed up. By calling 19 them at least 20 time. I was crying. And I told my son 20 Adam: Look how they behave. This is injustice. It is 21 against human rights not to help those who are unprivileged, 22 poor, helpless. That's the reason I filed the case, and 23 that's the reason I'm here to change some laws. 24 I appreciate it if you could help us to change the laws 25 and give us opportunity to speak our mind. 26 Living in America without proper way -- we should have 27 full-fledged freedom like others have. That, that's the 8 1 only reason I was -- I filed a case. 2 THE COURT: Do you want to say anything more on your 3 case? 4 MR. MEHDI: I mean political party events is coming on 5 Sunday. I already e-mailed this Sunday on -- which is a 6 Palm Sunday. I put the event on 37 Center Street, Bristol, 7 Connecticut. We will have enough members, but there's no 8 news agency ever come to cover these events. What is the 9 reason? That's the reason I'm here today. 10 THE COURT: Anything you want to add, Mr. Kent? 11 ATTY. KENT: The only thing I would say, Your Honor, is 12 that -- just for the record and for Mr. Mehdi's benefit to 13 the extent it carries any weight -- my client is the oldest 14 civil rights agency in the United States of America. And we 15 certainly respect and honor Mr. Mehdi's rights, practices, 16 religion of his choice. 17 Our decision in this case had no bearing on that 18 whatsoever. It was based on the law. And the law says that 19 the Associated Press, in these circumstances, is exempt from 20 governmental intrusion. And the Miami Harold case is right 21 on point, and -- 22 THE COURT: Would you like to put the facts of that on 23 the record? 24 ATTY. KENT: Yeah. Miami Harold, Your Honor, was a 25 case dealing with -- just give me one moment. 26 It dealt with a Florida statute that required that if 27 the newspaper criticized a political figure, that the 9 1 political figure had to be given space in that newspaper to 2 rebut those allegation. And the United States Supreme Court 3 said, basically that, that's an editorial decision as to 4 what to print. The government can't force the print media 5 to print what it thinks is necessary or proper or what have 6 you. They have a -- 7 THE COURT: So the statute was held unconstitutional? 8 ATTY. KENT: It was held unconstitutional, Your Honor. 9 So, similarly, the CHRO can't go and tell the AP you've got 10 to print what Mr. Mehdi's thinks is important news. It's 11 the same kind of thing, we can't -- as governmental agency, 12 we can't tell them what to print or not to print. They have 13 the discretion to print what they think is newsworthy. And 14 the government can't get involved in, in telling them what, 15 what is newsworthy. 16 And that's what basically what Mr. Mehdi is asking the 17 CHRO do in this case is to tell the Associated Press you 18 have to print what Mr. Mehdi wants to print about his 19 religion or about his federal lawsuit or, or what, whatever. 20 And they're just basically saying: No, we don't think that 21 that's newsworthy. And they have the right, the 22 constitutional right to make that judgment. And that's 23 really, you know, that's the nuts and bolts of it. 24 THE COURT: But if the newspaper were running an ad 25 that said only women typists are needed and men need not 26 apply or something like that, and Mr. Mehdi wanted to be a 27 typist. 10 1 ATTY. KENT: Yep. 2 THE COURT: Maybe he could say that they were violating 3 his statutory rights and perhaps would have a claim at the 4 CHRO. 5 ATTY. KENT: Absolutely. 6 THE COURT: And you could step in and issue an order to 7 the AP that they couldn't run those kinds of ads and that 8 kind of thing. But if they have some -- 9 ATTY. KENT: Yep. 10 THE COURT: -- content related subject that Mr. Mehdi 11 wants to tell about his faith or his beliefs and they don't 12 want to print it, that's something outside your 13 jurisdiction? 14 ATTY. KENT: That's precisely right, Your Honor. 15 THE COURT: Okay. 16 ATTY. KENT: The advertisement situation that, that's 17 the narrow, narrow exception to this rule. That's the 18 Pittsburgh Press case that I cite in my, my brief. And 19 that's also the holding by the Connecticut Supreme Court 20 back in the '70s in the Evening Sentinel case. It was 21 sex-based advertisements, criminally, mentally, and it was 22 held to be unconstitutional. 23 So, yes, the CHRO could get involved and will get 24 involved in that, that -- that narrow fact situation, but 25 we're not talking about that here at all. 26 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you very much. 27 ATTY. KENT: You're welcome. 11 1 THE COURT: Did you want to reply, Mr. Mehdi? 2 MR. MEHDI: Yes, Your Honor. These are the political 3 events based on people party. We have just registered to 4 the Secretary of State in the United State. We have 25 5 member. And these, this political party wants to bring 6 change based on human fealty in the United State justice 7 system. So every single citizen of United State, regardless 8 what color, what eye color, what creed, what religion and 9 what belief he has. At least he should have opportunity to 10 speak his mind. 11 And this people party is based of that dictatorship 12 that these media giants they block (indiscernible). Even 13 they appoint these (indiscernible) authorities based on 14 their power, and that's the reason we have not proper 15 justice in this society. The reason is they can manipulate. 16 They choose wo they want to publish, who they do not want. 17 Associated Press is a simple example, Your Honor. But 18 the reason is -- not Associate Press. Hartford Courant. I 19 call them millions times. Every single journalist knows me. 20 Lori Perez (Phonetic). You can ask her how many time I 21 e-mail or tweet her. I asked Fox news channel many time. 22 Nobody ever come. Channel 8. Channel 3. Republican, a 23 Waterbury paper. 24 Only one paper covers us, which is very small weekly 25 base occult, Step Saver Observer, And I give them lot of 26 credit. You might check 'em. You can call them, Your 27 Honor, and ask him how many weeks, how many time I send 12 1 article and every time they publish only which is once a 2 week, but no other paper ever comes. 3 We do not write anything wrongs. We are writing about 4 human rights and opportunities based on human fealty, which 5 is the new direction, I belive, from our forefather Abraham. 6 It is time to change before it's too late. This country is 7 going down because of these policies. We are concerned 8 about the future of Abrahamic faith. That is the reason I'm 9 standing here. 10 THE COURT: All right. Thank you very much for your 11 time. The court will issue an opinion. Thank you very 12 much. 13 ATTY. KENT: Thank you, Your Honor. Have a good day. 14 (This hearing concluded). 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 1 No: HHBCV11-5015298 S : SUPERIOR COURT 2 AJMAL MEHDI : JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF NEW BRITAIN 3 v. : AT NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT 4 CONNECTICUT COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND 5 OPPORTUNITIES, et al ______________________________: 6 7 8 C E R T I F I C A T E 9 10 I hereby certify that electronic version is/the foregoing 11 pages are a true and correct transcription of the audio 12 recording of the above-referenced case, heard in Superior Court, 13 Judicial District of New Britain, New Britain, Connecticut, 14 before the Honorable Henry S.

We believe in freedom of the press and object to media censorship. We believe we have the responsibility to stay informed and the right to have resources for this available without restrictions.

Blessing on humanity from Mehdi (Imam) and Adam (Jesus) the father and the son with Holy Spirit!
Human Faith is a religious of God (Rab) of humanity (Rabi). The definition of humanity (Rabi) in our faith is the quality of being humane and respectful for life. The Divine Affirmations of human faith are the commandment of God (Rab) of Humanity (Rabi). The crime against the Nine Affirmations is blasphemy and great disrespect for our God (Rab) of humanity (Rabi).
Human Faith is heavenly light of knowledge restriction on sacred light is eclipse on humanity and blasphemy.
1. We believe all people are entitled to freedom, peace and justice. We will do all that we can to see these rights are promoted and protected in the current century.
2. We believe any kind of negative discrimination such as racism, sexism and religious persecution are crimes against humanity. We cannot endorse sole progression of man from animal as it rejects spiritual evolution. We will respect all human kind.
3. We believe in freedom of the press and object to media censorship. We believe we have the responsibility to stay informed and the right to have resources for this available without restrictions.
4. We reject war, terrorism and arms build ups as they are plagues on mankind and the environment.
5. We support and encourage efforts to preserve and protect the environment. Air and water pollution, unbridled harvesting of fossil fuels and loss of habitat need to be stopped. We are commit to do our part by recycling and curbing wasteful habits. We recognize our responsibility to future generations in this regard.
6. We believe we must provide education worldwide in health and family planning. We must foster respect for life and accept responsibility for the offspring we create. Programs facilitating border less adoptions need to be encouraged.

9. We are honest in all our dealings and we respect the dignity of others. We will instill these beliefs in our children in order to promote happiness and peace.
Human faith religion starts from the premise of humanity which is more than a physical face and biological organism. It is the religious consciousness in which matter of human soul is in the prison camp of human body. It is a wisdom that can only be obtained from the nature of God (Rab). It is a stage of awareness where purity of living in the physical senses without bias. Human faith is the last stage of human evolution. The fundamental links in our spiritual and material evolution that changed us from violent to sober human being is the element of love . We know this element of love was created before the universe for human evolution and it can not be separated from the soul .True love (Rabi) is part of human soul in which strong devotion is created for another soul in environment where matter meet for human evolution . This element is not part of sexual desire nor matter of modernizations symbols of “Holy Pleasure” neither romance. This power of love is to teach respect of humanity .It is the power that controls the universe. When a baby cries the power of love force mother to nurse the baby. This is the same force when chicks open their eyes in the egg shell the same element forces them to use the beak to break the shell and fallow the mother nature. Human faith religious is a public school for humanity (Rabi) .The leisure of learning truth, honesty and freedom. It is the eminent brain (Rabi) for batter society and the library of knowledge. It is the sacred water of life that emerges with the seven colors of human diversity to dissolve racism. Human life is spiritual force of affirmations in which nine sisters are the museum of humanity (Rabi). It is the religious in which muses is dedicated to the nine affirmation of human faith. The new principle in genetic segregation can grow better sex, height and color but with natural theological law of dominance can produce better psyche. Protein structure in human genes are playing vital important role for evolution from the beginning of the human faith of Adam for humanity. It is supernatural activity of chemical mutation based on theology. The rule of nature has shown better result for the offspring we create with the family values that are based on some kind of theology.
The posture of humanity (Rabi) needs direction of love (Rabi) to cure qualm and hate hypocrisy from monotheism and polytheism. The zeal of humanity is to diminish symbolism to prevail freedom from labyrinth ideologies of religious and political leaders for peace. We all human beings are the heart of humanity (Rabi) in which human faith religious is the xylem to dissolve distastefulness from monotheistic and polytheistic faiths. Humanity (Rabi) is theological evolution and logical process of supernatural system of Supreme Being, the theory of human faith religious is philosophy to evolve that human embryology is theological evolution and consciousness of supreme power (Rab). Human faith teaches not only moral values it can give realistic purpose of achieving complete fulfillment of internal life. The spiritual change from loneness to loveliness is based on love by giving unlimited trust in God (Rab). Human mind is miracle of Supreme Being when we struggle to boil it at luck warm temperature of wisdom to understand fundamental of life by reading (Rabi). The ever lasting stage of satisfaction for mind is to reach Supreme Being before death. The journey of memories can be pleasant with nine affirmations of human faith. We believe that it is time to joggle every conscious to show them that human mind is superior matter not material. The festival of life can be celebrated with wisdom of human faith knowledge once we realize that we all are part of the superior race. It advocates spiritual and moral principles on very high scales for the longest term in human history. It is time to modernize our faith by adopting true faith and educate mankind in accordance with basic principle of life. Our vision is to introduce true human religion by mobilizing communities and faiths around the world to improve people’s lives .Our mission is to strength the bond of humanity (Rabi) by introducing human faith religion. Human faith is a religious of Mehdi and Adam monotheistic faith and knows that God (Rab) is the creator and overseer of the universe at all the time and all matters. The waves of fresh air with small particles full of wisdom and oxygen of (Rabi) are in the air it is just matter of time when they touch the brain to change the heart.
IN GOD (Rab) WE TRUST WE HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY (Rabi).
Rabi has many meaning in our language.
1. Rabi is Book of Human Faith.
2. Rabi is brain.
3. Rabi is humanity.
4. Rabi is our tongue.
“Peace”

Mehdi (Imam) & Adam (Jesus)
Mehdi (Imam) of Bristol
Adam (Jesus) of Bristol
America is my home and the home of my Holy Family, and I want to make sure everyone is safe. Blessing on humanity from Mehdi (Imam) and Adam (Jesus) the father and the son with Holy Spirit!
It is time to stop the chain of tragedy by officially condoning Human sacrifice that still happens today as an underground practice in some traditional religions, and for political reasons. It is time to adopt new ideological principal of life and for this universe to stop Trojan War of Rab. We feel that the system of our symbolism of tragedies for blame is paralyzing educators and PhD s who should teach honesty, justice and humanity not “Hate” once we realize that education and modernization is not part of symbolism, sexism or very old religion and racism. Then concept of journalism for a journalist will help by imagining an angle working for God (Rab) to find the truth. It is time to reconcile differences from the spirit of doubt which was the outcome of dispute concerning who did what in the democracy of 12 Olympian in which the supreme power is held by the people. The first step is to analyze condition of this universe and save hope seeking struggling human being from poverty, health, culture, religious and political problems by sitting example of American standard for humanity. The second biggest problem is environment which is due to take its toll in order to balance the system of nature. Therefore, it is time to change chain of tragedy with chain of love for the rest of the world to show mutual love and confidence in Human race to change climate of fear.
