Notice of protective claim and declaration of procedural exile from Crown jurisdictions.
I. What Happened
On 1 July 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a document whose sole purpose was to articulate—without apology—the decision to depart from the legal fiction of protection.
It detailed how state systems had refined retaliation to such an extent that remaining became untenable.
This was not a request for indulgence.
It was a statement that participation had ended.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
• Procedural breaches: safeguarding invoked as punitive theater, not protection
• Human impact: forced disengagement from civic life to preserve health and sanity
• Power dynamics: the Crown as both claimant and executioner
• Institutional failure: no forum willing to admit that the problem was systemic, not individual
What is not acceptable:
That the burden to justify leaving must be heavier than the burden to justify harm.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the archive must record not only who stayed—but who was made to leave.
Because procedural exile is an outcome no state dares name, but many produce.
Because documenting refusal is the last act of jurisdictional clarity.
IV. Violations
• ECHR Articles 3 and 8 — protection from degrading treatment and right to family life
• Vienna Convention on Consular Relations — denial of access
• UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities — systemic discrimination
• UN Convention on the Rights of the Child — removal without necessity
V. SWANK’s Position
This was not relocation.
This was an escape necessitated by the sustained performance of care as punishment.
⟡ We do not accept that procedural exile is a footnote.
⟡ We do not accept that jurisdiction is legitimate when it becomes hostile terrain.
We will catalogue every declaration—because departure is not defection.
It is evidence.
