Calling for Bashir Hameed

Subject: [abc-friends] Calling for Bashir Hameed
Date:    Tue, June 17, 2008

Thanks to everybody who called the Governor's office for POW Bashir
Hameed today! We're told a staffer said she received "quite a few
calls"!

If you forgot to call, or even if you remembered, KEEP CALLING.
There's no reason to quit until Hameed's family and core supporters
let us know that he has received adequate medical care or that he has
been transferred back to Sullivan!

For Freedom,
NYC ABCF

May 20, 2008/ From Iyaluua Ferguson:

Bashir Hameed (York) 82A6313 called Sunday very concerned about the fact
that the administration at the prison he is now in [Great Meadow
Correctional Facility] is continuing its policy of ignoring his health
needs, despite the support you have demonstrated in this matter.
Obviously
the authorities mean to exterminate Bashir through neglect if we
allow it.

We cannot allow this to happen! We have to increase our support by our
letters and phone calls. Bashir is asking us to write and call Governor
Paterson to give orders to his Corrections Commissioner Brian Fischer to
transfer Bashir to Sullivan Corectional Facility immediately, where
he was
before and where his health and medical problems were handled much more
humanely and professionally by the medical staff.

We are looking now to the Governor to save our brother. If anything
happens to Bashir, the blame will rest in the Governor's hands.
