SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“Hello, I’m calling to demand that OSP staff end their persecution of Malik Muhammad #23935744, who is bravely on hunger strike to protest being held in torturous conditions in solitary confinement. OSP staff are violating his human rights and have a legal responsibility to provide him with adequate living conditions. OSP staff must immediately provide him with a bed, a blanket, adequate clothing, reasonable room temperature, and any other medical needs he has due to his health conditions. OSP staff must also immediately return his rightful property to him and restore his communication and visitation rights. End this injustice against Malik now!”
The #Meloni govt is considering putting in #prison journos publishing truthful info in the public interest,if obtained through illegal meansNO matter journos played NO role in any illegality.
It would make illegal legendary scoops:#PentagonPapers, #WikiLeaks,#PanamaPapers,etc.
Les prisons françaises sont surpeuplées, les troubles psychiatriques s’y aggravent, le taux de suicide y est très élevé. Presque rien n’est fait pour accompagner la réinsertion des détenus une fois leur peine purgée et éviter la récidive. Les politique pénales axées sur la répression et l’arbitraire sont un échec.
Officials HAVE had preliminary discussions about how to protect the former president in the unlikely event that he is jailed for #contempt during the trial.
The good news:
Shabana Mahmood, the Labour shadow justice secretary has come out forcefully in support of the ECHR....
The bad news:
Shabana Mahmood, the Labour shadow justice secretary thinks the solution to the UK prison problem is to build more prisons....
And while she is right, 'Change will not happen overnight... We cannot wave a magic wand & return our legal system to its former glory'... lets hope at least the mood music will change quickly!
@ChrisMayLA6 To some extent she's right: the UK's prisons are chronically overcrowded and run-down. We need more prisons BUT we also need to reduce the number of people in prison (whether by increasing use of non-custodial sentences,stopping prosecuting victimless crimes, or improving (reducing) recidivism rates by repairing the probation service).
Of course, guess which element gets the headlines from our rabidly authoritarian and ugly press?
As of April 17, more than 8,000 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank were held in Israeli captivity, according to estimates from the rights group Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.

…The bill in CT, pending before an #education cmte, is 1 of a raft of measures advancing nationwide that seek to do things like prohibit #BookBans or forbid the #harassment of school & public librarians…. Legislators in 22 mostly blue states have proposed 57 such bills so far this year, & 2 have become #law….
But the #library-friendly measures are being outpaced by bills in mostly #RedStates that aim to restrict which #books#libraries can offer & #threaten#librarians w/ #prison or thousands in #fines for handing out “obscene” or “harmful” titles. At least 27 states are considering 100 such bills this year, 3 of which have become #law…. That adds to nearly a dozen similar measures enacted over the last 3 yrs across 10 states.
“The devastating psychological effects of prolonged solitary confinement causes prisoners significant mental harm and places them at a grave risk of even more future psychological harm.”
From the archives: Texas has banished hundreds of prisoners to more than a decade of solitary confinement. Many of these prisoners aren’t sure how—or, in some cases, if—they will ever get out. https://www.texasobserver.org/solitary-confinement-texas/
@TexasObserver Prisons should contain people, rehab or redirect them if possible. But instead, they focus on harming them. Society’s monsters are inside the system and running it.
2020 uprising rebel Malik Muhammad was given a 30-day stint in a segregated unit because he refused to break his Ramadan fast by drinking water for a urine analysis.
call Oregon State Penitentiary to demand his immediate return to general population and to respect his constitutionally guaranteed right to free religious practice!

"Hello, I'm calling to demand the immediately release of Malik Muhammad #23935744 from segregation and back to general population, along with restoring his communication and visitation rights. OSP staff have flagrantly violated his 1st amendment right to freely practice his religion by attempting to force him to drink water during his Ramadan fast, which he bravely refused to break. OSP staff unjustly and unconstitutionally placed him in segregation as retaliation. OSP staff must restore him to his unit immediately and not interfere with any prisoner's religious freedom."

Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol (adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,”), maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958.
@MikeDunnAuthor Despite their soviet files, I believe that the US made up its mind to make an example of the Rosenbergs and never afforded them a fair trial.

UPDATE: from Maja who’s been locked in a Dresden prison for 3mos. Maja was arrested in connection with the German investigations where she fought off neo-nazis at the “Day of Honor” event in Budapest in 2023. we must clearly prevent an extradition to Hungary, an authoritarian state that supports neo-Nazis.
Today in Labor History March 20, 2000: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, was arrested for murdering a Georgia sheriff’s deputy. Al-Amin had been a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panthers. He once said that “violence is as American as cherry pie.” Al-Amin denied shooting the deputy. His fingerprints were not found on the murder weapon. He had no gunshot wounds, though officers who were present at the shootout claimed that the suspect had been hit and wounded. Another man, Otis Jackson, later confessed to being the shooter, but the authorities have repeatedly denied Al-Amin’s requests for a retrial. He is now serving a life sentence. He had been at Florence supermax, under a gag order preventing interviews with journalists. In 2014, he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He is now at the U.S. Penitentiary, Tucson. In April 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal from al-Amin.
Strongman rule is a fantasy.
Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman.
He won't.
In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents.
We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something.
But the vote you cast for him affirms your #irrelevance.
The whole point is that the strongman owes us #nothing.
We get abused and we get used to it.
Another illusion is that the strongman will unite the nation.
But an aspiring dictator will always claim that some belong and others don't.
He will define one group after another as the enemy.
This might feel good, so long as you feel that you are on the right side of the line.
But now #fear is the essence of life.
The politics of us-and-them, once begun, never ends.
We dream that a strongman will let us focus on America.
But dictatorship opens our country to the worst the world has to offer.
An American strongman will measure himself by the #wealth and #power of other dictators.
He will befriend them and compete with them.
From them he will learn new ways to #oppress and to #exploit his own people.
At least, the fantasy goes, the strongman will get things done.
But dictatorial power today is not about achieving anything positive.
It is about #preventing anyone else from achieving anything.
The strongman is really the weak man: his secret is that he makes everyone else #weaker.
Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests.
In the twenty-first century, those are simple: 👉 dying in bed as a billionaire.
To #enrich himself and to stay out of #prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists.
