<font size=3><b>This week can be the determining week for the freedom of
Oscar López Rivera. <br><br>
</b>The US Parole Commission has said they intend to make their decision
to confirm or reject the negative recommendation by the US Parole
Examiner on Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Oscar López Rivera,
#87651-024, currently incarcerated at FCI Terre Haute. Oscar, 68 years
old, is presently serving his 30th year of incarceration for struggling
for Puerto Rican independence. <br><br>
The National Boricua Human Rights Network and the Puerto Rico-based
Comité Pro-Derechos Humanos are urging the parole commissioners to reject
the wrong-headed and politically punitive recommendation of the parole
examiner. We intend to flood the Parole Board with letters until they
respond positively. PLEASE DO ALL THREE of the following:<br><br>
1) DAILY CALL-IN CAMPAIGN FOR THIS WEEK (Jan 31-Feb 4): CALL the Parole
Board in support of Oscar Lopez Rivera from 9:00am UNTIL 5:00 PM (EST)
CALL and have others call. It only takes 5 minutes. THE NUMBER IS:
301-492-5990 hit 0 to speak to operator. Sample script is below.<br><br>
Hi, my name is ______________ and I live in Chicago [NY, etc.] The Parole
Commission should parole Oscar López # 87651-024 immediately, in spite of
the hearing examiner’s recommendation to deny parole.<br><br>
<i>IF YOU HAVE TIME, USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:<br>
1) Oscar has the support of a broad sector of Puerto Rico’s civil society
as well as Puerto Rican and Latino communities throughout the United
States.<br>
2) Oscar was not accused or convicted of causing injury or taking a life.
He was never accused or convicted of participating in the 1975 Fraunces
Tavern bombing or any other action that resulted in injury or death.<br>
3) President Clinton’s determination that Mr. López Rivera’s sentence was
disproportionately lengthy, and his offer that would have resulted in Mr.
López Rivera’s release in September of 2009.<br><br>
</i>2) Download the letter to mail and fax here (or write your own using
that as a template and place on your letterhead) and send right away.
(FAX NO: 301/492-5543) Remember the Parole Commission has stated their
intention to make their decision by Feb. 4. Get as many of your friends,
family. colleagues and forward to your Facebook and retweet.<br><br>
