Xinachtli Freedom Campaign April Update
"Earlier this month, Xinachtli was transferred from Carole Young Unit to Estelle Unit in Huntsville, Texas.
His condition has worsened since the move. He can no longer walk on his own and has no way to move himself around. He has not received any of his books, letters, or other personal property that should have been transferred with him. He continues to be denied the regular physical therapy, B12 shots, and diet prescribed by UTMB doctors."

Quote of the day, 13 April: Blessed Georg Häfner
I’m not leaving today [for the Dachau concentration camp]. So the danger has been postponed for eight days. Perhaps I will be spared the worst. Now, don’t let up on praying. I put all my trust in prayer. And people shouldn’t let up either, as long as I’m not free. Perseverance!
Today I submitted another request for release. I am firmly convinced that God will hear our prayers and set me free again, even though things look bleak at the moment. I have had to endure some difficult days so far, and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy. God has always given me strength.
Blessed Georg Häfner
Letter to his housekeepers from the Gestapo’s detention center in Würzburg

"#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters
#JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action
By Matthew Rozsa
Staff Writer
October 24, 2024"Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.
"But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.
"Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.
"Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

Toumaj Salehi, one of the key characters captured by IRI for participation in the riots that led to death of some Basij and police forces, had his death penalty revoked and turned to 6 years and 2 months prison.
The Iranian diaspora keep repeating that he was deemed "Mifsed fil Arz" (corrupt on earth) a term used against people with moral and political view that deemed impossible to changed and carries a death sentence.It is upsetting that these people don't even know the basic rules of Iranian penal law and blindly repeaterhese nonsense. Something that in the long run plays in the hands of IRI regime and it's propaganda bots.
Finally, the sentence was approved and Salehi was removed from solitary confinement and into the public ward of the prison.
توماج صالحی به اتهام «افساد فی الارض» به ۶ سال و ۳ ماه حبس محکوم شد
رزا اعتماد انصاری، وکیل توماج صالحی در گفتوگو با «شبکه شرق» به آخرین وضعیت پرونده توماج صالحی، خواننده بازداشتی در جریان اعتراضات ایران اشاره و اظهار کرد: امروز رای پرونده دادگاه بدوی توماج صالحی به ما به عنوان وکیل پرونده ابلاغ شد. ... همچنین توماج صالحی از امروز به بند عمومی زندان منتقل شد. او پیش از این در انفرادی بود.

Iran executed yet another prisoner from 1998 riots.
Auto translated by Google:
The death sentence of #Kamran Rezaei, a political prisoner and one of the detainees of the #Aban 98 protests, was executed in the central prison of #Shiraz (Adel Abad).Kamran was sentenced to death for killing a #Basiji member and forced to confess. He was in solitary confinement for 7 months under brutal @torture.
According to this report, Kamran lost his father when he was 8 years old and lived with his stepmother. There was no family member or sympathetic person to do anything for him during this time or to spread his news to the media.
Kamran Rezaei was transferred to solitary confinement on Tuesday afternoon, after taking the evening statistics, to execute the sentence.
"Kamran Rezaei was arrested during the nationwide protests of 1998 on the charge of killing a Basij member with a machete and spent 7 months in solitary confinement and was forced to confess to the crome under torture. The level of torture was such that Kamran for a long time had blood in his urine and his right ear drum was damaged. He always said that he is innocent and was sure he would be released."

Action Alert for Political Prisoner Xinachtli
"For weeks, Xinachtli has been struggling with a worsening medical condition, and his health is deteriorating fast. He is having difficulty walking, standing, and using the bathroom, and he has already suffered two falls, cracking his head on the floor in his second fall.
He is currently in the McConnell Unit’s medical department without a diagnosis, without access to his medical records, and without a phone cord to contact people outside. At 73 years old, after more than 23 years in solitary confinement, this is elder abuse, medical torture, and neglect."
