[Highland Park] Fwd: [amnestypgh] Solidarity in Solitary Confinement 11/11 7pm Pitt Law School
by Kimberly Latta 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Dear Neighbors: Below is the announcement about an important talk by Pitt Law professor Jules Lobel next Monday night about the use of solitary confinement in the US. Amnesty International has been working on this issue and has a current action dealing with Albert Woodfox who has been in solitary confinement for more than 40 years. The Louisiana authorities refuse to free him despite the fact that his conviction was overturned 3 times. Here is a link to the online action: http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=6oJCLQ… [image: Pelican Bay Supermax Prisoners Photo Credit: California DOCR]*Join Us to Hear More About A Transformative Social Movement * *Occurring Behind Bars* SOLIDARITY IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT Monday, Nov. 11 [image: Find out more at tinyurl.com/q97f8ov]7:00 pm University of Pittsburgh Law School, Room 113 Jules Lobel, Pitt Law Professor and Center for Constitutional Rights lawyer for Pelican Bay prisoners, will relate the inspiring story of inmates overcoming gang violence and racism as they fight for their human rights. Their struggle has included a hunger strike against California’s arbitrary system of solitary confinement, which frequently locks down prisoners in isolation *for decades*. There will also be a presentation of current actions against solitary confinement in Pennsylvania and around the country and how citizens can help overturn this form of cruel and unusual punishment. For more information call 412-361-3022. *Help spread the word!* Like this event on facebook - *http://tinyurl.com/p3fj7jx*<http://tinyurl.com/p3fj7jx> Sponsors: Thomas Merton Center, American Friends Service Committee of PA, Center for Constitutional Rights Pittsburgh, Lawyers Guild, University of Pittsburgh law School Chapter -- Kimberly Latta, Ph.D. "The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings . . . As the shadow follows the body, as we think so we become." --The Buddha, Dhammapadha
