Social Media Campaign to Gov. Cuomo Demanding Clemency for Jalil

 

Dear Friends and Supporters:

NYC Jericho visited Jalil at Shawangunk on Sunday, March 19, 2017.

When Jalil was moved last Monday, he was taken out on a medical for a stress test, then instead of taking him back to Southport, they took him to Shawangunk. He asked to make a phone call to his lawyer, but was not allowed to do so. So he sent a legal letter to Bob Boyle (for which DOCCS has to provide the stamp). That's why we didn't find out he was moved until last Friday.

 

Since this transfer did not take place in the normal fashion, Jalil doesn't know if he has any of his stuff. He was upset because he wanted to send birthday greetings to his daughter, but he doesn't even have a stamp. Jalil is scheduled to be returned to general population on March 21st, so hopefully he will be able to make phone calls. Please take the time to write to Jalil and let him know he is in our hearts and on our minds.

Jalil had a visit from his brother Dave and sister Stephanie in April. He and they say it was a wonderful visit. Dave sent us some pictures of the visit to post.

 

Read the Excellent 1979 Memorandum of Law Regarding Prison Slavery, the 13th Amendment and Violations of International Law!

We are enraged to report that Jalil received notice on June 28, 2016, that he was once again rejected by the Parole Board. This is the ninth time Jalil has been to the Board, and the ninth time he has been denied, despite having an excellent record and meeting all requirements to be released on parole.

 

There will definitely be an Article 78 appeal of this denial. We will need everyone's help in preparing for the appeal and will definitely be waging a strong campaign.

 

We cannot continue to allow the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA) and the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association (COPBA) to impose their will upon the Parole Board. The FOP, PBA and COPBA have made it clear that they are trying to impose Life Without Parole (LWOP) on our Political Prisoners. THIS IS NOT LAW AND NOT WHAT THEY WERE SENTENCED TO. They must be held accountable for their actions!

 

We will keep everyone posted on upcoming steps and actions to take. In the meantime, please take the time to write to Jalil and him know he is in our hearts and on our minds.

 

Jalil has also submitted a request to Gov. Cuomo requesting commutation of sentence to time served, as the parole board is obviously biased. A fair and just parole hearing is impossible for Jalil and our other NY State political prisoners.

 

Jalil has asked people to write Governor Cuomo and urge him to grant executive clemency to Jalil.
