Lynne Stewart was sent to prison today. People throughout the United States and around the world recognize this as a great miscarriage of justice.
Her indictment was an outrage. So too was her conviction. The fact that this seventy year old veteran civil rights attorney has been sent to prison is a crime itself. She is serving a 28 month sentence although the Court of Appeals has remanded her case back to the original trial court with the hope that her sentence will be lengthened. The Bush Justice Department had sought a 30 year sentence.
“Lynne Stewart should be set free,” stated Brian Becker, national coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition. “Her conviction is part of an-going war against civil rights and particularly against the Arab-American and Muslim community. With her jailing the government is sending a definite and chilling message to all the attorneys in this country – ‘do not represent Arab people and or Muslims.’
In recent weeks the government has seized mosques in the United States at the same time as they have implanted agent provocateurs and set up sting operations and carried out FBI assassinations targeting the American Muslim community and its leaders.”
The irony and hypocrisy of Lynne Stewart’s imprisonment can’t be overlooked. This admired civil rights attorney who is struggling with cancer is sent to prison while the Bush attorneys who authorized and instructed the most sadistic torture occupy comfortable positions as law professors and serve as judges on the federal bench. It is they who should be disbarred, prosecuted and sent to prison.
To send Lynne a letter, write: Lynne Stewart, 53504-054, MCC-NY, 150 Park Row, New York, NY 10007
Where’s the BARF Alert?
Let her f&^%ing rot.
Somebody get her a shave.....
I would write her a little letter, but I bet they are screening them.
She’s a crook, a traitor, a cheat, and a disgrace to the name “American” and to the legal profession (yes, that is possible). Lock her up and throw away the key.
Wasn’t she granted 72 virgins too?
The miscarriage of justice is that she wasn’t sentenced to life in prison.
That she has walked free since her conviction.
That she isn’t going into solitary confinement.
Rot in hell.
P-ss on her, Ethyl.
a definite and chilling message to all the attorneys in this country – ‘do not represent Arab people and or Muslims.’
Works for me if they are Jihadists.
I’m still making a distinction but get with me
after the next mass attack, it could change.
Change is good I hope. That’s what Obama says.
Hehe.
They should have given the old bag life without possibility of parole.
The "rule of Law" my left elbow!
We’ve seized mosques? Sweet! Lets get’m all.
Oh yea, who is Lynne Stewart?
She should be free’ed, out the poop ring of a pig that is.
let that commie hag rot...
Shouldn't the Commies call it an abortion of justice?
