An Indictment Against Injustice ~ Chris Turner, Innocence Project
My name is Chris Turner and I am a client of the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project in Washington, DC (http://www.exonerate.org/). I will go on a hunger strike today to appeal to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Khamenei, the Iranian Government and to its good citizens for the immediate release of both Josh Fattal & Shane Bauer. Like these two young men, I was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime that I did not commit. I spent more than 26 years of my life behind bars in the U.S. and last year, thanks to help from the Innocence Project, I was set free. Therefore, I can speak with firsthand knowledge of the trauma of such a nightmare.
AN INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS AN INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE. AN INJUSTICE TO ONE IS AN INJUSTICE TO ALL.
This is not an indictment on Iran, its citizens or Islam. It is and will remain an indictment against injustice. Please don’t allow for any more of these two young men’s lives to be taken away under false pretense or mixed up with the political endeavors of two nations’ disagreements. Supreme Leader Khamenei please grant these men and their families the peace that is the very foundation of Islam by ordering their immediate release.
Respectfully submitted under the Five Highest Principles:
Love,Truth, Peace, Freedom & Justice
Chris Turner
