Petition for Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Carlos Alberto Torres
2:14 pm By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Justice|Puerto Rico
3 Feb 2010On January 19, 2010, Carlos Alberto Torres attended a video hearing presided over by a U.S. Parole Commission hearing examiner whose task was to consider the disciplinary charges stemming from last January, and to make a recommendation for what should happen with respect to his request to be released on parole. Carlos Alberto answered the questions posed, and his attorney Jan Susler asked that the Parole Commission release him on parole as previously recommended, regardless of the wrongful charges. She pointed out the vast, ongoing support for his release, and argued that there is absolutely no risk in releasing him, as evidenced by the impressive example of his compatriots who were released by presidential commutation in 1999. The hearing examiner then made a favorable recommendation. The Parole Commission will make the final decision, hopefully within the next 30 days.
The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign is launching a 30 day online petition campaign! We want 1000 people to sign our petition within the next 30 days showing their support for Carlos Alberto Torres.
At the end of the thirty days the petition will be mailed to the Parole Commissioner.
Sign this petition and forward it out to everyone you know!

As a person of faith and member of The First Congregational Church of Chicago U.C.C., I am requesting that you release Carlos Alberto Torrres. The excellent behavior of his fellow compatriots that were released by President Clinton gives testimony to the fact that Carlos Alberto is and will not be a threat to society. I strongly believe that he will be a strong and positive influence to any community.
Please find it in your hearts to let Carlos Alberto live the rest of his life in complete freedom.

Basta Ya!
Carlos Alberto Torres has served half a lifetime incarcerated. He has spent 29 years in prison and is not a threat to his peers, community or public at large. He is a family man who supporters number in the millions.
Release Carlos Alberto Torres!
