[Pnews] Ongoing Medical Campaign for Abdullah Majid: Make Calls on Tuesday, April 8

[Prisoner News]

We received a letter from Majid in which he stated that he is in SHU on 
bogus charges. He is confident this will be resolved in his favor. 
  Also, one of his supporters reported that he was told that Majid had 
refused the needed surgery. This is absolutely untrue, and we need to 
keep the pressure on. Please make calls on Tuesday for Abdullah Majid 
#83A0483.

*URGENT MEDICAL CAMPAIGN
FOR PP ABDULLAH MAJID*

PP/POW Abdullah Majid is in need of our help. Months ago we reported 
that he was experiencing excruciating pain from an attack of sciatica. 
He was scheduled to have back surgery in October of 2013, and was 
instructed to stop taking the ibuprofen medication he was using to 
alleviate some of the pain. During this time, the only remedy provided 
has been a too short cane given to him by the prison doctor, making it 
difficult for him to walk or lean on.

When the surgery was first postponed, Majid was told it was because he 
needed to have some pre-op medical tests. Those tests were performed, 
and he has seen a cardiologist and the doctor who is to perform the surgery.

As the days and months go by, his 90 year old Mother, Mrs. LaBorde, 
becomes more and more anxious and frustrated by the DOCCS lack of 
response to her concerns.

In addition, we just found out on Friday, March 28th, that Majid has 
been put in the SHU due to unfounded allegations against him by the 
DOCCS Muslim chaplain.

We ask you to contact DOCCS, the Superintendent at Elmira and Governor 
Andrew Cuomo to express your concerns about the continued negligence and 
disregard for Abdul Majid's health and medical well-being and to demand 
that he be released from SHU and that the surgery take place as soon as 
possible. Please be sure to give his name and DIN #: Abdullah Majid, DIN 
# 83-A-0483 when you call or write.
