ANTONIO CAMACHO NEGRON NEEDS OUR SUPPORT!! Antonio is being tortured for his political beliefs; now more than ever we need to DEMAND THAT HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE "HOLE" AND THAT HE RECEIVE HIS MEDICATION!! Download this letter to the MDC Guaynabo Warden and mail it out or fax it!! Express your rage and indignation of the torture of this revolutionary!! http://www.prolibertadweb.com/AntonioCamachoLetter.pdf Thursday, March 30, 2006 Linda Backiel, Lawyer for Antonio Camacho Negrón Last night I met with Antonio. He is in solitary confinement because he refused to answer questions that are made of new prisoners. He is not receiving his medicines and his cell is flooded. He is not being given toilet paper. As always his spirits are high. I understand that his arrest on the afternoon of the first day of the National Congress for Decolonization is due to a desire to repress those efforts. He is the national organizer of the Congress and dedicated it to the political prisoners just before being arrested around 4:00 p.m. in a street in Río Piedras. Antonio declared that "The Congress that is taking place simultaneously in several universities and colleges throughout the country by all anti-colonial sectors has received tremendous support and the government of the United States is making its move to once again attempt to repress the desires of our people to regain its sovereignty." He reiterated that his stand in the towards the courts is the same as always: he does not recognize their jurisdiction. "The Federal Court is not in Puerto Rico to meet out justice, but to kidnap the sovereignty of the people of Puerto Rico and to impose the expansionist imperialist policies of the United States. What is good for the hunter is not good for the hunted." Antonio also emphasized the fact that just before his arrest by the same federal agents that arrested him at the Congress, he had just asked all those present, not for a minute of silence, but a minute of applause for Filiberto Ojeda Ríos. It is important to note that a support picket for Antonio was organized on Saturday April 1st in front of MDC Guyanabo. The organizers will continue organizing pickets every Saturday until Antonio is released from jail!! ______________________________________________________________________________ In commemoration of the 26th anniversary of a series of arrests that began on April 4th, 1980, ProLibertad has dedicated the month of April to the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners; we call it FREEDOM MONTH!!
