 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley, CA\n\n                    (Free Vegetarian Mexican 
 food provided)\n\n      $4-5 sliding scale, with larger donations (via 
 cash, check, or credit card) \n                             GREATLY 
 appreciated\n\n  Below is a brief outline of Carlos' situation, as 
 recounted by one of his friends:\n             also visit- 
 http://www.indybay.org/news/2002/04/122724.php\n\n   The judge has 
 condemned him to 15 years of death, of being forgotten, of torture, in 
 Mexico City.\n Carlos is a young worker, an anarchist, involved in 
 political activities in the anarchist punk movement in \nMexico City.  He 
 is accused of armed robbery, and is a victim of false accusations and lies 
 by the police. \n He is being scapegoated for a crime that he did not 
 commit.  The other reality is that Carlos has been a \n youth that would 
 not conform to the system, he has preferred to stand with those who fight 
 against this \noppressive reality.  His lawyer turned out to be a fraud and 
 abandoned the case due to his incompetence . \n   Nevertheless he took the 
 little money that Carlos' family had. Now they need money to appeal the \n  
 sentence. They urgently need money to pay for a new lawyer, as legal 
 assistance is only available at a \n                      tremendous cost, 
 inaccessible to a worker's salary.\n This is the reality of democracy in 
 Mexico. The prisons are full of the poor.  Many of them spend years \n  
 inside before their cases are brought to trial. They are prisoners all 
 their lives, not only those that are \n hungry and take bread where it is 
 in abundance but also those who will not stand any more deaths, nor \n    
 so much crime from the government and their institutions. The prisons are 
 full, of farm workers, \n indigenous people, students, blue collar workers 
 (prisoners for the struggle.) Prisons are the real crime. \n  This is a 
 petition for your economic and moral support. We don't need charity, we 
 need to address the \n   issue that anyone can fall, whenever THEY (the 
 police) want.  For more info:upl_upl@yahoo.com.  \n  Carlos family's bank 
 account number is: 1231189654 under the name of Georgina del Rio Escobedo, 
 \n             and the bank is: Banco BBV or Bancomer. Any donations are 
 welcome.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/7293.php
