Statement der Kampagne - #WirsindalleLinX

"Nach mehr als anderthalb Jahren Antifa-Ost-Prozess erwarten wir am Mittwoch, dem 31.05.2023, ab 10 Uhr die Urteile. In den letzten 21 Monaten wurden Angehörige und solidarische Beobachter:innen Zeug:innen eines Prozesses, der nichts anderes als eine Bankrotterklärung des vermeintlichen deutschen Rechtsstaates für all jene ist, die zuvor gutgläubig ihr Vertrauen in diesen setzten. Mit diesem 98. Tag soll nun ein zermürbender, langatmiger Prozess zu Ende gehen, der einschneidende Folgen für das Leben der Beschuldigten, ihrer Angehörigen sowie vieler weiterer Antifaschist:innen haben wird."

The Public Prosecutor’s Office Appeals to the Court of Cassation Against the Release of Georges Abdallah: France

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has appealed to the Court of Cassation against the decision of the Paris Court of Appeal of February 20th. This Court of Appeal, without calling into question Georges’ release obtained in the first instance on November 15, 2024, had decided to adjourn to a new hearing, set for June 19, so that he could “justify a significant effort to compensate the civil parties”, an unprecedented “legal pettiness” according to Georges’ lawyer. In this new approach, the prosecutor’s office (which depends directly on the government) is fulfilling its role, which has always consisted of doing everything possible to keep Georges Abdallah in prison. The Court of Cassation, if it does not reject this appeal, may or may not decide whether or not to quash the decision of the Court of Appeal, in whole or in part. It could also decide to send the case back to another court of appeal for retrial.

Update and Thoughts from Behind the Walls — Caleb Freestone

It’s January’s full moon, the Wolf Moon. As I approach three months incarcerated, a quarter of my sentence should I serve it in full, I thought I’d write you all. I exist, although surely there are those who wish the world forget me.

How #LeonardPeltier has unjustly spent forty years in prison — and why it’s time to change that

Mike Baughman July 20, 2016

"So much time has passed that many Americans have forgotten, if they ever knew, what happened to an American Indian named Leonard Peltier, who has spent more than 40 years confined in various federal penitentiaries. This summer, a group of his family members and friends are traveling the country in an attempt to salvage what remains of his life, and to remind us all that no statute of limitations pertains to the application of justice.

"Peltier’s ordeal began when two FBI agents, Ron Williams and Jack Coler, were shot to death on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. No one familiar with the details of the case believes that Leonard committed the murders, and Peter Matthiessen explored this miscarriage of justice in his 1983 book In the Spirit of Crazy Horse. Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, called Matthiessen’s book 'the first solidly documented account of the U.S. government’s renewed assault upon American Indians that began in the 1970s.'

"The plain truth is that with two FBI agents shot dead on an Indian reservation, the government needed a conviction. At Peltier’s trial before an all-white jury, prosecutors used false testimony against him, some of it obtained through torture. One particularly repugnant example: The FBI produced affidavits by a woman named Mabel Poor Bear, who said she was Leonard’s girlfriend and claimed to have seen him shoot Williams and Coler at close range. But Poor Bear had never met Leonard, didn’t even know what he looked like, and was proved to have been nowhere near the scene of the murders. When she tried to recant her testimony, claiming that the FBI had threatened to take her child away if she didn’t sign the affidavit, the judge refused to hear her testimony.

"Amnesty International classifies Leonard as a political prisoner. Some of his other defenders include Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Robert Cantuar, a former archbishop of Canterbury. Michael Apted produced an acclaimed documentary film exploring the case, Incident at Oglala, which was narrated by Robert Redford.

"Despite the FBI’s fraudulent evidence and perjured testimony, Peltier remains in federal prison. He went in as a 31-year-old and is now 71. He’s been transferred often, from Leavenworth, Kansas, to Terre Haute, Indiana, to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to Canaan, Pennsylvania, back to Lewisburg, and finally to Florida. Everywhere he’s been, inmates have jumped and beaten him, likely with the collusion of guards. Now he is going blind from diabetes, suffers from kidney failure and is susceptible to strokes. Ed Little Crow, a Lakota living in Oregon, says that all Peltier wants 'is a chance to see his family and work on old cars. If that dignified black man who’s president doesn’t pardon him, he’ll die in prison. This is his last chance.'

"When Peltier was sentenced, the applicable law stated that an inmate with a good record should, after 30 years, be released. His record was good, but, instead of freedom, his parole board gave him another 15-year sentence. His next hearing is scheduled for 2024.

"Before his second term ended, President Bill Clinton, under pressure from Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye and billionaire philanthropist David Geffen, among others, was expected to grant executive clemency. But after several hundred FBI agents, along with the dead agents’ family members, demonstrated outside the White House, Clinton on his last day in office pardoned a financier named Marc Rich instead. Rich had been indicted for tax evasion and illegal oil deals, including a purchase of $200 million worth of oil from Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran while 53 Americans were being held hostage there, and selling oil to the apartheid regime in South Africa despite a U.N. embargo. Geffen called Rich’s pardon 'a sign of corrupted values.'

"On my last trip to South Dakota, I visited the Pine Ridge Reservation. In the town of Pine Ridge, I talked to the man I’d come to see and then drove north to Wounded Knee, where I spent the long afternoon alone. There was a pleasantly cool north wind and a clear blue sky. I walked and thought. This quiet place was where, in 1890, the U.S. 7th Cavalry surrounded an encampment of Lakotas, and for no justifiable reason opened fire. By some estimates, as many as 300 Indian men, women and children were slaughtered by the time the firing finally stopped. To make a foul deed even worse, at least 20 of the soldiers who participated in this senseless massacre were awarded the Medal of Honor.

"There’s nothing anyone can ever do about what happened at Wounded Knee. But, though very belatedly, something can still be done about Leonard Peltier. I hope President Obama sets this man free. "

Hanthala Center: Khalida Jarrar is Being Subjected to a Systematic Campaign of Repression That Threatens Her Life

For more than 93 days, the Palestinian activist and prominent leader of the Popular Front, Khalida Jarrar, “Umm Jaffa,” has been subjected to a systematic campaign of repression and abuse that threatens her life in the prison cells of the Zionist occupation, where she faces harsh conditions in solitary confinement. Despite all of this, she is steadfast in the face of the policy of slow death.

“Umm Yafa”, who is one of the most prominent symbols of the Palestinian resistance, lives in a narrow, unventilated room that lacks the most basic necessities of life, such as water and light, to the point that her detention room has become like a grave.

According to her lawyer, the activist Jarrar has no choice but to lie down next to the door to be able to breathe with the least amount of oxygen, in a tragic scene that reflects the cruelty to which Palestinian prisoners are subjected.

The 61-year-old activist Khalida Jarrar is not an ordinary prisoner. She has gone through a bitter detention experience that began in 2015, when she was arrested four times before her last arrest in December 2023, which was her fifth. Throughout these years, the activist has spent more than six years in the occupation’s prisons, carrying endless suffering in her heart, during which she lost her mother in 2015, her father in 2018, and her daughter in 2021. The occupation did not even allow her to say goodbye to them, in a clear war crime that represents a flagrant violation of human rights and international laws.

Today, 11 months after her last arrest, “Umm Yaffa” is still being subjected to failed and continuous attempts by the Zionist prison administration to break her will, but she remains steadfast, adhering to her national principles and her valiant resistance.

These desperate attempts by the occupation to target the morale of the prisoners will not succeed in breaking their resolve, but rather confirm their adherence to the cause of their people.

What the activist Khalida Jarrar is being subjected to is part of a comprehensive campaign of abuse targeting Palestinian prisoners, especially female prisoners who face similar conditions in the occupation’s prisons. These oppressive policies pursued by the occupation and led by war criminal Ben Gvir are failed attempts to subjugate the Palestinian people, but the will of the Palestinian resistance and its living leaders will remain stronger than these brutal practices.

The Hanthala Center for Prisoners and Freed Prisoners calls on the international community and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to save the life of the activist Khalida Jarrar and all prisoners in the occupation prisons, and to work to stop the repeated violations against them.

It also calls on the masses of our people to escalate the struggle to support the prisoners at all levels, and to demand the free people of the world to organize global solidarity campaigns with the Palestinian prisoners, especially with the activist Khalida Jarrar, and to continue to put continuous pressure on the occupation to stop these ongoing violations and protect the rights of the prisoners.
