Write letters of support for a prisoner coming up for parole who has been in solitary confinement after refusing to give false testimony against members of the "Lucasville 5". Derrick Mathews aka Kweisi Mugabe (Ohio prisoner # R142 546) needs letters of support sent before June 15 to the Adult Parole Authority, Attn: Eric Griffith, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, 1050 Freeway Drive North, Columbus, OH 43229. You may choose to touch on any of these points: In 1987, he was sent to prison at age 18 for stealing a jacket and sentenced to 5-25 years. After more than 20 years of incarceration, Mugabe is far beyond the maximum guidelines for release by the Parole Authority. After refusing to give false testimony against Lucasville uprising prisoners, he was put in solitary confinement for 15 years and transferred to Ely, Nevada, far from family and friends. He has worked hard to rehabilitate himself and has many certificates for anger management and other positive programs. He has the support of family, friends and the community. For more information, call (216) 939-8888 or email bspringer06@ peoplepc. com. Sign the electronic petition to Governor Strickland for the Lucasville uprising prisoners. Go to the ACLU website at www.acluohio.org and click on the Lucasville Justice Project on the left side. Scroll down to the petition. We are aiming for 1000 signatures. Tell everyone you know to do the same. |

My son, Daoud Omar Boone has been incarcerated for over a year here in Alabama. However, there has been no indictment. Please adjust your attention to this cause. I am considering him as a political prisoner. Please request the transcript of my son's case here. Also note, that as civil rights advocates we are under constant surveillance. We have been placed on the so called blacklist but we continue to survive according to God's plan and purpose. Connect others to our cause if possible. Mrs. Mary Boone Alabama, USA maryboone123@bellsouth.net I want you to know that my son looks pale and sick. He is not eating. He has been transferred from Lowdnes County to Wilcox County. He has scars on him where apparently he has had to defend himself. However, he does say that it is quieter where he is right now. Every turn I make is sabotaged by the forces around me-- How long can a person be held without an indictment or trial--You are the people's lawyer--Does this not seem unfair to you--Who shall I write--Is there no justice without a fee--How long must this injustice against my son be allowed to stand? |
Support for Andre Scott in Fayette County Court |
I am forwarding this to anyone who has a concern for injustice anywhere to anybody. |
Greetings Everyone, We are asking for your support in Scott (18) who was tried, convicted and sentenced to four years ultimately for allegedly organizing a fight between two other boys in the school's boy's bathroom. While children shouldn't be fighting at school, it should not be punishable by school suspension rather than 4 years in jail. Allegedly Andre's sentencing was so harsh because there were accusations alleging that he was a member of a "criminal street gang" and since Georgia's Gang Laws defined "criminal street gang activity" so vaguely, one didn't have to be accused or guilty of any criminal wrong doing to be tried and convicted under that law. The law was challenged and upheld in the Georgia Supreme Court in January '09, but the verbiage that defines "criminal street gang activity" was revised to at least require criminal wrong doing so, consequently, Andre should have been released since he was not charged or guilty of any criminal wrong doing and the only remaining accusation is organizing a fight between two boys in the bathroom - again - properly punishable by school suspension not 4 years in jail. However, Andre is still in jail and has been there since December 3, 2008. His attorneys have pushed for a hearing, which will be held on March 12 and we look to see you there with us. We have no intension what so ever to be disruptive or disrespectful to the court. We only want to provide Andre and other youth affected by this case with an example of the correct posture one should have when wronged and that is to stand with him in support. So please adjust your schedule on this morning to show your support for this wrongful conviction and feel free to share with others. See details below. March 12th, 2009, Thursday 9 am Fayette County Justice Center One Center Drive Fayetteville, Georgia 30214 Read the full story on Andre's case at www.familiesagainstlegalizedviolence.ning.com African Community Centers 3079 Campbellton Rd.
