<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="4">Robert Seth Hayes is one of the longest held
political prisoners in the US. He is 66 years old and
suffers from multiple chronic and concerning medical
problems. As many of you know, we recently waged a
medical campaign for him a few months ago regarding
rapid and concerning weight loss as well as poorly
controlled diabetes. Neither of these concerns has been
addressed to date. <br>
</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="4">NYS DOCCS states on its website that denial of
adequate medical care is a violation of a person’s
eighth amendment constitutional rights, so please help
demand that Seth be provided with proper care.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="4">Since we began our campaign last week, Seth's
medical situation has actually worsened. He has had a
cough for over a week with shortness of breath. He is
also intermittently coughing up blood tinged mucus. He
has not been evaluated or treated for these symptoms.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="4">We must keep the pressure on and be consistent,
insistent and persistent to make sure we do not lose yet
another of our beloved freedom fighters due to
deliberate medical neglect.</font></p>

diabetes mellitus with frequent bouts of hypoglycemia,
as well as weight loss of 40 pounds (22% of his original
body weight) in a short time. These health concerns have
not been addressed by medical staff at Sullivan
Correctional Institute despite numerous requests by the
patient, family, concerned medical providers, and the
general public. He has not even been prescribed a
diabetic diet.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="4">In addition, Mr. Hayes's medical situation has
worsened in the last week. He has had a cough with
shortness of breath and is coughing up blood tinged
mucus. He needs an evaluation of his cough and shortness
of breath urgently.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"

the health of Mr. Hayes and to request that he receive
the following immediate and appropriate medical care:</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
