  Lynne Stewart & Pam Africa in San Francisco


  Friday May 2nd, 6 p.m. at 518 Valencia

*Celebration of Life and Struggle*

May 2, 2014

Longtime NLG member Lynne Stewart was targeted and imprisoned for her 
zealous representation of poor and unpopular clients. Federal 
prosecutors demonized her to win a conviction and then fought for a 
longer sentence than the court was initially willing to give. Once in 
prison and suffering from cancer, the Justice Department continued to 
fight against compassionate release. Finally, after years of protests 
and legal maneuvering, Lynne is out of prison and is receiving the 
treatment she needs. Come hear her speak about her release on 
compassionate grounds, the long struggle to free her, and her 
perspective on her politically-motivated prosecution.

Friday May 2nd, 6 p.m. at 518 Valencia in San Francisco. Donations at 
the door for Lynne's medical care. No one turned away for lack of funds.

/Cosponsored by the National Lawyers Guild, The Freedom Archives and SF 
Gray Panthers.
