URGENT ACTION ALERT – Save the life of disabled man up against the prison system:

A very disabled man was obviously persuaded by 'friends' to go to Peru, and bring back 2.8 kgs. of cocaine.
He was arrested at Heathrow, and is now imprisoned.

Read what Global Women's Strike (motto 'Caring Not Killing') say about it, and then please sign the e-petition, and/or other assistance.

There is no way this guy should be in Wormwood Scrubs.

''Daniel was sentenced to three years in prison, not death, for attempting to bring in cocaine. Given the seriousness of his condition, he should never have gone to prison. His family say: “He is in an advanced stage of Friedrich's Ataxia, a degenerative, life-limiting disease. Wheelchair-bound, he has little voluntary movement. Speech impaired, he has difficulty swallowing, his heart is seriously damaged and he has Type One diabetes. Curvature of the spine puts pressure on his heart causing breathing difficulties and constant, severe pain. Intellectually he is unimpaired.”

The media’s censorship of Daniel’s plight is a cruel example of how the Paralympics are hiding a reality of discrimination, violence and sadism faced by thousands of people with disabilities – from cuts in benefits needed for survival, accusations of ‘scrounging’, assaults, and lack of essential care especially of women pensioners who are the majority of people with disabilities.
