https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/support-needed-prison-reform-activist-jock-palfreeman-hunger-strike Jock Palfreeman, an Australian serving a 20-year jail sentence in Bulgaria on trumped-up murder charges, has been on a hunger strike since April 21. Palfreeman was imprisoned in 2009 after challenging up to 16 neo-Nazis who were attacking two young Roma boys in Sofia. Since then, he has dedicated his time to successfully reforming conditions for all prisoners<https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/bulgaria-jock-palfreeman-and-prisoner-rights-association-need-your-support> — with success. Palfreeman was instrumental in the formation of the Bulgarian Prisoners’ Rights Association (BPRA) which, over 7 years, has improved conditions for prisoners, including reducing beatings, torture, horrendous cell conditions and the use of isolation as punishment. This helps explain why he is a target of prison authorities. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
