Note: Activist Tim DeChristopher was convicted of the terrible crime of bidding on oil and gas leases on pristine lands to prevent them from being destroyed by the energy industry. The US government clearly cannot tolerate this type of non-violent direct action geared toward obstructing the ability of corporations to stomp all over the last wild and beautiful places in pursuit of profits. Please take action below.

Action Alert from Peaceful Uprising
.
On the evening of Friday March 9th, Tim DeChristopher was summarily removed from the Minimum Security Camp and moved into the FCI Herlong’s Special Housing Unit (SHU) reportedly due to a request from an unidentified Congressman. Tim is kept in an 8 x 10cell which he shares with another inmate, has been let out of his cell only 4 times in the last 19 days, and will be kept in this dehumanizing situation indefinitely until the BOP grants him a hearing.
.
Peaceful Uprising is outraged at the hidden power of of public and appointed officials in Washington DC that can continue to inflict cruel and unusual punishment on Tim. This is not justice, it is political persecution.
.
We firmly believe the only way Tim will be returned to the minimum security camp he’s been housed in for the last six months is to place outside pressureon FCI Herlong, the Bureau of Prisons, and members of Congress that sit on the subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
.
PEACEFUL UPRISING IS ISSUING A NATIONAL CALL TO ACTION ASKING YOU TO CALL AND DEMAND THAT TIM BE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO MINIMUM SECURITY CAMP.
