Josh Harper was convicted of two federal “terrorism” related felonies in the landmark SHAC 7 conspiracy case on March 12,2006. On November 16 he began serving his 3 year long prison sentence (he spent the interim months on house arrest under electronic monitoring).
The only evidence against Mr. Harper were two speeches he made and an e-mail he sent encouraging people to protest companies with financial ties to Huntingdon Life Sciences. No evidence at trial linked him to any illegal action, or showed that his words encouraged others to commit crimes. The case against him and his co-defendants was so outrageous that the National Lawyers Guild has called the conviction, “Unconstitutional.” Indeed, all of Josh’s conduct was first amendment protected free speech.
The appeal of his conviction will begin soon but in the meantime Josh needs to know that this travesty of justice is not going unnoticed. Please take the time to write him!!
***GOOD NEWS! As of Jan. 3rd Josh has been moved to the Federal Correctional Institution! His address has changed, so please take note and send him a letter there!***

Between September 2007 and May 2008 there were no execution in the United States, while the Supreme Court deliberated over the current method of lethal injection. In the end the court decided that the use of lethal injection is not cruel and unusual punishment. As abolitionist we say all executions are cruel and unusual. It's time to end the barbaric death penalty. Let's tell Texas there's…
