We support political prisoner Lynne Stewart and a number of visitors have e-mailed about a WBAI web post, asking why we don't highlight it? Two WBAI friends have called asking why?
We originally chose not to highlight it because it did not include Taking Aim. It now includes Taking Aim so we will highlight it.
The full force of the U.S. criminal "justice" system came down on innocent political prisoner, 30-year veteran human rights attorney and radical political activist Lynne Stewart on July 15, 2010. Listen to WBAI news coverage (July 15th, 14 min.): Free Speech Radio News covered this on July 19th. Building Bridges also covered it on the 19th (first segment) and on their national edition too. On Guns and Butter, Bonnie Faulkner devoted an hour to interviewing Lynne Stewart on July 23rd. Law and Disorder aired a segment on Lynne Stewart on July 26th in which they interviewed Vinie Burrows, author of Lynne Stewart Heard A Death Sentence Today. On Taking Aim Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone have ongoing, weekly updates on the case. They even created a web page with links to their Lynne Stewart programs and articles.
Use the links while you can. WBAI does not keep their programs archived forever. Law and Disorder is on our blogroll and they do keep their programs archived at their own site. Bonnie Faulkner, as far as we know, still doesn't hasn't gotten a new site for Guns & Butter (a great show). Taking Aim provides archives at its own site. (We don't link to TA on our blogroll, we will at some point before the week's over.) Free Speech Radio News, which we do link to, archives its programs at its website.
Lynne Stewart is a resource for news on Lynne and you can write her (currently) at:
Lynne Stewart 53504-054 MCC-NY 2-S 150 Park Row New York, NY 10007
Currently? At some point, it appears she'll be moved to another prison. Despite the fact that her family lives in the north east, one of the prisons being considered is in Fort Worth, Texas.
