The Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity coalition has called for all outside supporters to continue pressure on the Prison and State authorities [ http://prisonerhungerstrikesolidarity.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/support-still-needed/] to keep to their promises and to continue negotiating with the prisoners and their representatives. This is essential given the hostile CDCR statement [ http://cdcrtoday.blogspot.com/2011/07/statement-by-cdcr-on-inmate-hunger.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CDCRToday+%28CDCR+Today%29] announcing the end of the Pelican Bay hunger strike, where they rehearse the same lies about the protests being ordered by prison gang leaders" and adding that hunger strikes “are a dangerous and ineffective way for prisoners to attempt to negotiate.” This statement deliberately ignored the Tehachapi, Corcoran and Calipatria hunger strikers and carried an implied threat of retribution against those who have taken part in the protests so far.

Join the protest at the California Tourism Information Office in Covent Garden on Friday 29 July from 12.30-2.00 pm.
