American wrongfully imprisoned...

edited April 2007 in A Moving Train
This is more of a calling to draw attention to my friend Eric Volz who was falsely imprisoned in Nicaragua – the trial was extremely unjust & he is now set to serve 30 years in a Nica prison. I work with his father so I have been very active in bringing awareness to this cause. Please take a moment to check out this video on you tube – the case is only now beginning to get US media exposure – Wall Street Journal, Hannity & Colmes & the Today Show have all done recent stories on it – thanks in advance for your time – this is an important cause for a dear friend – thank you!

    Sucks man, what can we do?

    30 years in some stank Nicaraguan jail. That's some mighty shit circumstances indeed. We'll at least he's got his gig going on youtube.

    Wrong place wrong time...and these times are somewhat .....
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Bump.

    Today marks a monumental step in our fight to Free Eric V. The court in Rivas, Nicaragua has forwarded Eric's case file to the Appellate court. In accordance with Nicaraguan law, the Appellate Court may take up to 6 days to hold the formal hearing; the verdict follows within 5 days of the Hearing.

    Now is our time as a community of supporters to take action. We are going to start a 6 day campaign as we await the decision of the Court – a campaign we are calling the FREE ERIC V. Avalanche.

    We must have as many people as possible with their eyes turned toward this case as we go through the appeal process. As a community of supporters, we must demand justice and will not stop until we bring him home.

    Day 1 of the Avalanche is today. The first step? Alerting everyone about the appeal. Contact your friends and fellow supporters of Eric; tell them it has begun!

    Please check the MySpace page for bulletins every morning this week. Thank you again for your continued support.

    He was charged with murder but he has since been released. I had just read it on CNN and remembered reading about him on the board. So I thought I might post an update.
