RE: Campaign/ Request For Compassionate Release of Dr. Mutulu Shakur
Letter to U.S. Congressional Representative Matt Cartwright
Greetings
I am asking law makers, decision makers and influencers for consideration in the matter of the campaign for Compassionate Release for Dr. Mutulu Shakur.
Dr Shakur has been incarcerated since Feb 12 1986
Dr. Shakur was the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Black Acupuncture Advisory Association of North America (BAAANA) and the Harlem Institute of Acupuncture. Where, at Lincoln, Dr. Shakur had managed a detox program recognized as the largest and most effective of its kind by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, National Acupuncture Research Society and the World Academic Society of Acupuncture, at BAAANA he continued his remarkable work and also treated thousands of poor and elderly patients who would otherwise have no access to treatment of this type. Many community leaders, political activists, lawyers and doctors were served by BAAANA and over one hundred medical students were trained in the discipline of acupuncture.
He was captured in february of 1986 after several years underground., and was convicted of R.I.C.O. charges for his alledged role i the armored truck robbery in 1981 and also convicted of aiding the escape of Assata Shakur in 1978.
As his health worsens there have been petitions for compassionate release. Attorney Brad Thomson of Chicago IL is sigesting that his health is in such a state that he will not survive another year. This is why compassionate release is being sought.
Thank you for any attention to this matter.
