Dear friends, comrades, community and supporters, my name is Mini Maxwell,

My head is spinning around. It is very hard for me to ask for help. I usually tell others that they must reach out when they need support. So now I have to practice what I preach. Injustice must be confronted, and I cannot do this alone. But the truth is that the road ahead will be long one, especially because the man who assaulted me belongs to the system itself.

A few months ago, i was violently attacked by man. While i was wearing my scarf , this man looked at me and told me to back to olive/melon. The attack was racially motivated and completely unprovoked. I lost cosciousness for around 20 minutes. I woke up by hearing the police saying that they canceled the ambulance while witnissing around me the amounth of blood i have lost it. I asked on-repeat to the police why is the ambulance cancelend, they told me for someone who we couldnt waking up you are talkin a lot now. Go home, rest and sleep. I remember earlier walking down the street that there was an ambulance, so couple of people who witnessed the happening walked with me there. The ambulance people told me that they know about the case and that i have clearly a broken nose and they repeated the same as the police to go home, rest and sleep.

I came home and called with emergency line and they told me to go immediately to hospital, which i did with a taxi.

I wanted to do on the spot a police report but they they didnt let me. After all i had to make an appointment which took long cause it had to be from certain office who knew about the case. The report later in the hallway of the police office, here everyone who was in the waiting room could hear everything which was not pleasent but they told me that is how we do it here.

On the website of police i add the contacts of the withnesses. I asked the witnesse if they have been reach out and that was not the case. After that i saw that the case went somewhere else. I called to were it went and to tell them to contact the withnesses. They told me case went somewhere else but you will be called. Calling all these offices was multiple cycles. When i called to the place where it now offically was they told me that they dont know me and cant find any file and to send them an e-mail. My file ''disappeared'' between KMAR and victim-support offices.

After that i got a letter from OM (the Public Prosecution Service) that the case is closed without including my police report, my medical documents were ignored, none of the witnesses were contacted till now (i gave their numbers several times). Decisions were made without talking to me, without reviewing evidence and without hearing my side.

In the letter am reading that the person who beat me up is from Dutch Royal Military Police (KMAR, drunk and off-duty. My body started shifering and full in anxiety.

My nose is broken in multiple places which is causing breating problems that make it nearly impossible to sleep, the nerves of my nose nare tingling, broken upper lip, my teeth shifted and discoloured, part of my head is numb and still suffer pain, neck/knee pain, nightmares, memory problems and constant stress. I had multiple emergency hospital visits, including a painful procedure to reposition my nose. More surgery is planned in the coming months.

This is not easy for me to ask. But i want justice, safety and healing and this not only for myself, but because violence should never be left unanswered, especially when committed by someone in uniformed position of power.I need support to reopen the case, having the right lawyer, start a complaint procedure.

Donation will be used for legal cost, medical cost and if there money is left will donated it to those who are left alone in this world, in system of oppression. You can help by sharing this message within your community, any donating, no matter how small it will help.
