Help Vegan Daniel Wilson
Related to country: United States


(HELP!!!) Vegan in Jail STILL Denied Needed Food for 20+ Day
Corpo: (For those who have already called, please continue to call. Please also send e-mails to them. And if you live in or near Olympia itself, please consider organizing a media event about the issue. Jails & prisons hate media attention.)

Daniel Wilson is currently being held in the Thurston County Jail in Olympia, WA without access to vegan food. Daniel has been denied for 20+ days now and has lost over 20 pounds. Their justification is that Daniel is not yet sick or malnourished enough. Weight lost in that amount of time, especially for someone who isn't obese, isn't healthy nor safe. The jail has threatened to punish Daniel for people calling the jail and requesting vegan food for him. Daniel knows this, and has asked people to continue to call the jail. Daniel is in jail for alleged acts connected to a 2008 riot.

Please call Thurston County Jail at 360-786-5510 and request vegan food for him. Ideally call between the times of 1:30 to 4:30 PM PST. But a call outside of those times is better than no call at all. Calling the administration office, medical wing, and food staff is also helpful.

You can also call the kitchen during the day directly 7am-3pm at 360-786-5509.

They may say he is getting "meatless" meals, but, as we very well know, a vegan meal isn't just "meatless". And obviously whatever Daniel is able to eat isn't adequate enough to be filling, or he wouldn't be losing so much weight.

Jails (and prisons) are another institution (like factorized "farming" of other animals) exposes the core of apathy and cruelty in "civilized" culture. With jails, first people forget that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. And yet, all too many people feel justified in committing gross and cruel acts against individuals who aren't proven guilty, simply accused. Second, even if Daniel is "guilty" instead of only being accused of acts connected to a 2008 riot, do we, even then, toss out basic human rights? Is there anyone who thinks that there is any purpose and any sort of good value in coercing and punishing people for their ethical or religious belief system?

Does anyone honestly thinking that its okay to starve people and cause potentially severe health problems through malnourishment simply because one has a different ethical or religious belief system?

Because that is exactly what is happening.

Please continue to call AND also use the template letter below to send an e-mail at http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/sheriff/contactus.htm Feel free to use this pre-written letter (originally written by Stacey Rakic), and be sure to sign your name (gives the letter more impact). However, if you are willing to spend more time, please write an original letter instead (as it takes more time for them to read than it takes for them to realize it is another form letter).

(Sample Letter)

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my understanding that Mr. Daniel Wilson, who is currently being held in the Thurston County Jail, is being denied an adequate vegan diet and has consequently suffered deteriorating physical health. I am therefore writing to request that Mr. Wilson be provided a vegan diet in accordance with his civil rights. Vegan diets exclude all animal products and bi-products including poultry, meat, fish, dairy, honey, and eggs.

You may be interested to know that the federal prison system incorporates vegan diets as the result of a federal judicial decision in June 2008 stipulating that denying vegan diets violates civil rights as mandated by the Federal Religious Bias Law. (New York Supreme Court Criminal Term Library June 29, 2008) Although not included in the federal prison system, the Thurston County Corrections Facility has the obligation to provide diverse diets in accordance with inmate rights; civil rights are not defined by borders or parameters and should thus be recognized in your facility. Offering prisoner dietary options does not entail agreement with or support of alleged offense but rather fulfills a commitment to observing and accepting fundamental civil rights. Please observe Mr. Wilson’s vegan diet and provide him food conforming to such.

I know your time is limited and I thank you for your attention to this issue.

Sincerely,

________

Lastly, if you are in or near Olympia, WA, please consider organizing attempts to deliver vegan food directly to the jail. I have had several people recommend such tactics from their own experiences -- not because they permit the food to go through, but because it seems to be persuasive, plus when it becomes rejected, it becomes a media event. Jails & prisons hate media attention.

Thank you for everyone who has shown and exercised support. Thank you for continuing to do so. And for those who are just about to do so, thank you as well.

Carlos Marighella - O Inimigo no.1 da Ditadura Militar
Related to country: Brazil


Carlos Marighella nasceu em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, em 5 de dezembro de 1911. Era filho de imigrante italiano com uma negra descendente dos Haussás, conhecidos pela combatividade nas sublevações contra a escravidão.

De origem humilde, ainda adolescente despertou para as lutas sociais. Aos 18 anos iniciou curso de Engenharia na Escola Politécnica da Bahia e tornou-se militante do Partido Comunista, dedicando sua vida à causa dos trabalhadores, da independência nacional e do socialismo.

Conheceu a prisão pela primeira vez em 1932, após escrever um poema contendo críticas ao interventor Juracy Magalhães. Libertado, prosseguiria na militância política, interrompendo os estudos universitários no 3o ano, em 1932, quando deslocou-se para o Rio de Janeiro.
Fundador da ALN - Aliança Libertadora Nacional
Em 04 de novembro de 1969 foi morto por militares aos 57 anos.

Hino à Negritude (Cântico à Africanidade Brasileira)
Related to country: Brazil


I
Sob o céu cor de anil das Américas
Hoje se ergue um soberbo perfil
É uma imagem de luz
Que em verdade traduz
A história do negro no Brasil
Este povo em passadas intrépidas
Entre os povos valentes se impôs
Com a fúria dos leões
Rebentando grilhões
Aos tiranos se contrapôs
Ergue a tocha no alto da glória
Quem, herói, nos combates, se fez
Pois que as páginas da História
São galardões aos negros de altivez
(bis)

II
Levantado no topo dos séculos
Mil batalhas viris sustentou
Este povo imortal
Que não encontra rival
Na trilha que o amor lh destinou
Belo e forte na tez cor de ébano
Só lutando se sente feliz
Brasileiro de escol
Luta de sol a solenidades
Para o bem de nosso país
Ergue a tocha no alto da glória
Quem, horoi, nos combates, se fez
Pois que as páginas da História
São galardões aos negros de altivez
(bis)

III
Dos Palmares os feitos históricos
São exemplos da eterna lição
Que no solo Tupi
Nos legara Zumbi
Sonhando com a libertação
Sendo filho também da Mãe-África
Arunda dos deuses da paz
No Brasil, este Axé
Que nos mantém de pé
Vem da força dos Orixás
Ergue a tocha no alto da glória
Quem, herói, nos combates, se fez
Pois que as páginas da História
São galardões aos negros de altivez
(bis)

IV
Que saibamos guardar estes símbolos
De um passado de heróico labor
todos numa só voz
Bradam nossos avós
Viver é lutar com destemor
Para frente marchemos impávidos
Que a vitória nos há de sorrir
Cidadãs, cidadãos
Somos todos irmãos
Conquistando o melhor por vir
Ergue a tocha no alto da glória
Quem, herói, nos combates, se fez
Pois que as páginas da História
São Galardões aos negros de altivez.


“Hino à Negritude”, criado pelo poeta e professor Eduardo de Oliveira, fundador e presidente do Congresso Nacional Afro-Brasileiro (CNAB) .

Sangrando os Direitos Humanos
Related to country: Bouvet Island

Translations available in: Portuguese (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Bleeding the Human Rights
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
The Project of Law 5240/09, of the member of the house of representatives and doctor of the PSB-Pb, modifies the Law of Criminal Execution (7.210/84), and imposes more rigorous requirements for the parole. If the prisoner will be condemned for more than a misdemeanor, and some of them will be impeditive of the pardon, the time of penalty of this will have that integrally to be fulfilled.
If it will have penalty of fine, cumulated with privative penalty of freedom, this will have that to be paid before any pardon, saved if the convict it will be insolvent (that does not have conditions to pay). If the convict will be solvent, will have that to repair the actual damage. Moreover, the convict will lose the right to the pardon if to commit serious lack after the order.
COLLECTIVE PARDON
the project limits the three dates for the concession of the collective pardon. Beyond already the traditional date of the Christmas, the collective pardon could only be granted in 21 of April (Tiradentes) and in 7 of September (Day of the Native land), “as form to renew the bows of civility with the imposed a fine on one”.
This project modifies article 188, in order to extend the authorized fan of people, authorities, agencies and entities to consider the benefit on behalf of the convict.

Law 7210/84 (Law of Criminal Execution), whose Chapter I, of the Heading II, article 5º: “The convict will be classified, according to its antecedents, to guide the individualização of the criminal execution”.

However, constitutional the acimenta law equality principles, personality and proportionality, when and another article, say that if the person can get this “exemption” or not, if made for a Commission Technique to interdisciplinar, that of the purpose of individualização of the penalty, and supply elements so that the authorities decide on progressions and regressions of the prisional regimen, conversions of penalty, parole etc. Still it says that for this concession of the parole, article 83 conditions that if it has evidenced personal conditions with professionals, as therapeutic and psychologists for the verification that this person does not come back to deliquir.

The Project: it will be analyzed by the commissions of Public Security and Combat to the Organized Crime; e of Constitution and Justice and Citizenship. Later, it will follow for the Plenary assembly.
Proponent: Member of the house of representatives (and doctor) - MANOEL ALVES DA SILVA JÚNIOR PSB - Pb

My balances:
If
1.Artigo VI All person has the right of being, in all the places, recognized as person before the law.
2.Artigo VII All are equal before the law and have right, without any distinction, the equal protection of the law. All have right the equal protection against any discrimination that the present Declaration violates and against any incitement to such discrimination.
3.Artigo VIII All person has right to receive from the competent national tributes effective remedy for the acts that violate the rights basic that it are recognized for the constitution or the law.
4.Artigo X All person has right, in full equality, to a hearing joust and public on the part of an independent and impartial court, to decide of its rights and duties or the bedding of any criminal accusation against it.
5.Artigo XXV dizToda person has right to a standard of living capable to assure itself and its family health and welfare, also medical feeding, clothes, habitation, cares and indispensable the social services, and right to the security in case of unemployment, illness, invalidity, widowhood, oldness or other cases of loss of the ways of subsistence is of its control.

If giving for satisfied and putting plus cadeado in the cage of the prisoners an illustrious member of the house of representatives still it does not want to impose limits to the Executive of the government being wanted that this is subordinated to the Legislative one!
Before if condemning somebody for some act, the STATE would have to give what paid it to it to get! E this is not protection the delictual acts: It is in the Constitution! Why the right is unilateral? A rich thief is less guilty of whom he stole a pot of margarina in the market? Why this person would deserve arrest? Because it infringed the Law or because it stole of RICHEST? When it polices it bush, because it cannot be judged  for civil forums? Why  rich assassins and thieves are not imprisoned and still they can in directing them politically? Also it would not be crime that in accordance with the Criminal Code.
Art. 24 - Who is considered in flagrant necessity practises the fact to save of current danger, that it did not provoke for its will, nor could in another way prevent, proper right or other people's, whose sacrifice, in the circumstances, was not reasonable to demand. E to take in account the Inimputáveis. How many people literally apodrecem in the chains already with years of “stated period looser” or without judgment? This everything is not taken in account? It stopped to pay taxes leaves of being part of the society and considered being CITIZEN, people?
The mission and the description of the party and the visões of the member of the house of representatives if estapeiam between itself. It seems that this left never before in history this country was so right!
The PSB with  one  historical socialism, sees a new member to think as mimado garotinho, wanting that 'the ears pass the head!
This project is the same that to condemn the one already convicted LIFE IMPRISIONMENT what it wounds and it confronts the Human Constitution and Rights.
Sincerely… I finished to have certainty that these parents really and the parents of the worse ones  ready jokes! I remembered the obligatoriness of commemoration of these “parties” of the whip, the darknesses or the Military dictatorship at the time! It wants to say then that the prisoner will be hindered to have open or half regimen and for such he will not be able to study? TO STUDY TO CHANGE DE VIDA? A suspicious time will be condemned pra always?
Many times the fight is inglória for the Ministry and the Counsels for indigents and now come a project as this practically instuindo the life imprisionment, since he does not have one alone prisoner of “good imprisoned rich family” or, either man or woman.

All the human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Endowed with reason and conscience, must act ones stops with the others in fraternity spirit.?

This is the Article first. of the Human Rights, if it does not fit to the imprisoned ones, exactly that some are in this condition on account of impostures politics, and embezzlement of the PUBLIC money, and therefore, for impossibility several to create an effective condition for POLITICS YOU PUBLISH in this country; still considered that who is for backwards of the great ones is POOR PRETOS AND OF the PERIPHERIES, in the impossibility () of law of the death penalty, the attempt now is to create golden pill a round form of the LIFE IMPRISIONMENT passing over them To be able of the Public prosecution service and its Defensoria? Or being ONLY they to observe the Constitution and other Laws, defenders of a society oppressed and judged guilty since the first one cry, is in the way it “crossed fire” and this would be a way to weaken them or takes the legitimacy from them? Without the Ministry and the Defensoria? WHO would defend the Human Rights? It would be of a time for all? or better, for two times, brought in return the much more dangerous demon, for being legitimated.
Certainly it has very surprising deceased, however,  more surprising it is the possibility not to be thus so dead as we thought!
Yesterday the policy of the Rio Grande Do Sul killed shooting for the coasts an integrant one of the MST and goes to be “therefore” as if it sees or if the “funny one” knows to each day sets of ten of blacks is died the bullets… is that nor it matters what they make or what they say: THEY ARE SEMPRE GUILTY!

Because they do not tear the Constitution soon and plays the Law of the Human Rights in the fire?
