<font face="Times New Roman Baltic, Times" size=4>Puerto Rican Political
Prisoner Carlos Alberto Torres Parole Hearing Scheduled<br>
<br>
Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Carlos Alberto Torres will meet with the
Parole Commission's hearing examiner once again on January 19.<br>
<br>
The Bureau of Prisons continues its role of interfering with his release.
Carlos Alberto learned today that the BOP received an order from the
Parole Commission on November 12, 2009, indicating that the Commission
wanted to see him about the disciplinary report at the next available
date. The FCI Pekin staff member responsible for communicating this to
Carlos Alberto told him simply, "I must have overlooked
this."<br>
<br>
The prison disciplinary committee found him guilty of possessing home
made knives which, unbeknownst to him, a cellmate had hidden in the light
fixture of the cell. This finding came not only after the first guilty
decision was expunged, but after the guilty cellmate confessed in person
to the committee.<br>
<br>
The U.S. Parole Commission had postponed its decision whether to adopt
its hearing examiner's recommendation to release Carlos Alberto on parole
on April 3, 2010, waiting for the disciplinary committee's decision. At
the January 19 hearing, Carlos Alberto will ask the Commission to adopt
the recommendation and order his release, and to ignore the Bureau of
Prisons' attempts to derail his parole.<br>
<br>
Write to the Parole Commission to encourage them to adopt the
recommendation and order his release! Sample letter available at
