Bidder70 - DeChristopher

 

BREAKING: Tim was moved back to the MINIMUM SECURITY CAMP– late on the night of Wed March 28th, after FCI Herlong, the BOP office in Washington, DC and members of Congress received thousands of phone calls… from YOU!

Thank you for the overwhelming outpouring of support and for such effective public pressure.Peaceful Uprising will not stop investigating this situation because the most important questions remain unanswered: Why was Congress involved in moving Tim into isolated confinement, and who ordered the investigation? Martin Luther King said, “An injustice to one is an injustice to all”, and this abuse of power must be exposed in it’s entirety if we are to safeguard our own personal liberties.

Tim is still a political prisoner.  Stand with us as we continue to pursue the truth.

Tune in for more at 1:30pm MST when Tim’s Legal Team gives a press conference on the iconic steps of the Frank E. Moss Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Ut.

BREAKING NEWS: Tim DeChristopher Summarily Placed in Isolated Confinement

On the evening of Friday March 9th, Tim DeChristopher was summarily removed from the Minimum Security Camp and moved into the FCI Herlong's Special Housing Unit (SHU) reportedly due to a request from an unidentified Congressman.

Tim is kept in an 8 x 10 cell which he shares with another inmate, has been let out of his cell only 4 times in the last 19 days, and will be kept in this dehumanizing situation indefinitely until the BOP grants him a hearing. In the SHU, Tim's movements are severely restricted. In the past two weeks, he has been allowed out of his 8 x 10 cell (which he shares with another inmate) four times, each time for less than an hour.

 

Tim is allowed one book in his cell, and four in his property locker. His writing means are restricted to a thin ink cartridge which makes correspondence extremely difficult. He can receive mail from the outside, but has no other form of communication other than 15 minutes of phone time per month. The hidden power of of public and appointed officials in Washington DC that can continue to inflict cruel and unusual punishment on Tim is outrageous. This is not justice, it is political persecution. We firmly believe the only way Tim will be returned to the minimum security camp he's been housed in for the last six months is to place outside pressure on FCI Herlong, the Bureau of Prisons, and members of Congress that sit on the subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
