(June 17,  2013)

 

Assalaamu Alaikum  (Greetings of Peace):

 

While in the Carolina's I  received the following message from Ralph Poynter, the  committed husband of activist attorney Lynne Stewart. Ralph  was appealing for support of a very important and time-sensitive  initiative on behalf of his wife.

 

 

In a message dated 6/12/2013 10:40:08 A.M. Eastern Daylight  Time, [e-mail] writes:

 

Greetings  Mauri' Saalakhan:

 

Now that Lynne has fulfilled all the requirements for  compassionate release, her papers sit on some bureaucrats desk in  Washington.  Therefore, I will be in front of the White House , Monday,  June 17th from morning til nite, with literature regarding her case and  calling  for the removal of Obama.

 

Please ask those who can and will to give me whatever  time they can to stand with me.

 

Ralph Poynter  ps  kindly call me with your suggestions on this  matter

 

Any honest and  self-respecting person who knows Lynne Stewart, should feel compelled to do  whatever he or she can to help alleviate the suffering of this courageous  grand-mother warrior (who suffers from 4th stage cancer while politically  imprisoned).

 

I have just  returned home (with a lot on my plate), and expect to depart for  California on Wednesday, insha'Allah. I nevertheless plan to join Ralph  Poynter in front of the white house tomorrow morning, June 18th (God  willing); and I hope that others receiving this notice (who are capable of  doing so) will plan to join us as well. I believe he is planning to maintain  this daily vigil until our sister in struggle is released. May that day come  soon! - MS

There will also be another (no  doubt, much larger) demonstration at the same location, organized by the DC  area's Ethiopian Muslim community to draw attention to the gross  anti-Muslim human rights violations being carried out by the Ethiopian  government (see below).

 

Insha'Allah, I plan to show my  support for both efforts.

 

Protest against the Injustices in  Ethiopia Tuesday June 18, 2013. Time: 9:00am - 1:00pm. 1600 Pennsylvania  Ave. NW In front of the White  House

Lynne Stewart’s Husband Asks: Where are the Unions and Clergy?

Claiming the law gave him no choice, a federal judge rejected people’s lawyer Lynn Stewart’s request for compassionate release from a ten-year prison sentence. Judge John Koeltl said he would have given “prompt and sympathetic consideration” to such a request if it had come from the federal Bureau of Prisons, which maintains that Stewart’s health is “improving” despite the ravages of Stage Four breast cancer. Pressure must now be brought directly on President Obama, who “seems to enjoy doing the work of this oppressive corporate juggernaut,” said Ralph Poynter, Stewart’s husband and comrade in struggle. Poynter noted that “the unions have not participated as a group in the support for Lynne Stewart, Bradley Manning, Snowden, or any others on the issues of freedom of speech. The ministers have also not participated in this struggle.”
