UN to U.S.: Come Clean on Deaths In Custody

Regarding the secret arrest and murder of Larry Neal and wrongful deaths of other inmates, the United Nations and I recommend that America take the following steps: STOP avoiding accountability for wrongful deaths in custody, world police. "All we ask of America is to 'Be TRUE to what you said on paper'" (MLK). Honor the U.S. Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and International Law.
Florida reportedly had 346 deaths in custody in 2014 alone. The United Nations made the following recommendations about in-custody deaths:

DEATHS IN CUSTODY

22) The Committee notes with concern that 958 inmates died while in the custody of local jails during 2012, an 8 percent increase from the 889 deaths in 2010. During the same year State prison deaths remained stable with 3,351 reported deaths. The Committee is particularly concerned about reports of inmate deaths occurred as a result of extreme heat exposure while imprisoned in unbearably hot and poor ventilated prison facilities in Arizona, California, Florida, New York, Michigan and Texas (arts. 2, 11 and 16).

The Committee urges the State party to investigate promptly, thoroughly and impartially ALL deaths of detainees, assessing the health care received by inmates as well as any possible liability of prison personnel, and provide, where appropriate, adequate compensation to the families of the victims (NOT lawyer fraud through The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, surveillance, financial persecution, intimidation against and censorship of the families of victims, which is what happened to the Neals for eleven years to prevent disclosure of Larry Neal's secret murder).

The State party should adopt urgent measures to remedy any deficiencies concerning the temperature, insufficient ventilation and humidity levels in prison cells, including death row facilities.

The United Nations released its assessment regarding the USA's adherence to the Convention Against Torture on November 20, 2014. SEE WHAT THE U.N. SAID ABOUT OTHER NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES IN U.S. CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AT:
http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CAT/Shared%20Documents/USA/INT_CAT_COC_USA_18893_E.pdf

It is a Legal Victory that the United Nations reviewed the USA and 155 other nations regarding their compliance with the Convention Against Torture. It is unfortunate that the United Nations found the USA wanting in so many areas, namely, the mistreatment of prisoners in War on Terror camps and in U.S. domestic correctional facilities as well as immigrant detention centers. The USA repeatedly stated during the CAT examination that it finds torture unacceptable at all times in all circumstances, even during war. That should also include the War Against African Americans that has been ongoing for centuries. The CAT examination was aired on live webcasts at the link below.

Quite a bit of the CAT examination focused on the Guantanamo Bay detainees. However, people were not only kidnapped and subjected to involuntary disappearance in offshore detention centers, but U.S. citizens also "disappeared" and were tortured and killed in domestic correctional facilities. The fact that Larry Neal was an American with a disability makes his torture and murder all the more egregious, which is likely why his family is censored and intimidated to hush the matter. We note regarding the Committee Against Torture's Question 17, the USA affirmed: "U.S. federal and state law prohibits unlawful acts that would constitute an enforced or involuntary disappearance, for example, by prohibiting assault, abduction, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and by regulating the release or detention of defendants." Larry was secretly arrested in mid-July 2003 until his death under undisclosed circumstances on August 1, 2003. 

Larry's family considers his disappearance a kidnapping, since police refused to admit having the lifelong mentally ill heart patient in custody during the 18 days while Larry was imprisoned in Memphis Shelby County Jail, a facility where he had been arrested numerous times in the recent past. His fingerprints were on file at the jail, as was contact information for his social worker and family members. A missing person report was filed with police but was deliberately ignored, as were Freedom of Information Act requests to the United States Department of Justice after Larry's secret arrest and murder. The same is true regarding a federal subpoena to Memphis Shelby County Jail. We consider Larry Neal's death a murder because police were aware of Larry's heart condition when he was deliberately separated from access to his vital heart and psychiatric medications for nearly three weeks.

Moreover, we consider Larry's death in custody a covered-up murder, because the Department of Justice and federal court for the Western District of Tennessee allowed Shelby County officials and administrators over Memphis Shelby County Jail to file reports that they knew to be false in their deliberate omission of Larry's inexcusable death in custody. Over the past eleven years, extraordinary steps have been taken to conceal Larry's death, including but not limited to, a sexual assault on his elderly mother on her hospital bed, following of other relatives, denial of 911 emergency services when relatives were followed and waylaid by a government vehicle leading four other vehicles, threats from Atlanta police officers to Taser and arrest Mary Neal for telling people about Larry Neal's secret arrest and murder and The Cochran Firm fraud, and DeKalb County police officers were dispatched to Mary Neal's home to order her never to complain to any police superiors about their refusal to address her police reports. 

No corrective action was taken about Neal family's frequent telephone and computer takeovers, stalkers in person and online, apparent agents who falsified their identities to enter the Neals' home as 1) a computer repair person, who actually made Mary Neal's computer inoperable except by calling the repair person to notify him that she wished to go online, 2) a woman who pretended to be Hattie Neal's home health nurse to gain access to her naked buttocks, and 3) another female who befriended a family member and arranged to remove court records and other documents from the Neals' home that were apparently perceived to be instrumental in proving the intimidation, censorship, and financial persecution of the Neal family, which ensued immediately after service of their lawsuit against the family's former wrongful death attorneys, The Johnnie Cochran Firm. The lawsuits alleged that The Cochran Firm's colluded with the Neals' intended defendants: Shelby County Jail, the State of Tennessee, and Larry Neal's final care home (not fully understanding the complicity of the U.S. Department of Justice in Larry's murder cover-up at that time).

Exposure Yields Legal Victories

AIMI vs. USA ~ One benefit of taking crimes against mentally challenged Americans before the United Nations will be the exposure. African Americans had been enslaved, brutalized, and lynched for centuries before the civil rights era of the 1960s made mistreatment of blacks in America common knowledge worldwide. The world watched televised protests during which peaceful blacks were assaulted by armed police using dogs and water hoses. I believe negative exposure temporarily incapacitated Jim Crow. "AIMI vs. USA" will expose how people with mental health challenges are mistreated, indefinitely detained, tortured, and often killed by government authority in the USA. 

It is a Legal Victory that families of mentally ill citizens and people with drug/alcohol addictions defy elitist prison investors and take a stand for their loved ones as plaintiffs in "AIMI vs. USA."

"If you want something, you had better make some noise.” ~Malcolm X 

Tapes are available for listening any time. "AIMI vs. USA" offers six tapes with potential claimants. Claimants meetings are scheduled for the first Saturday and Sunday of each month.

International Court: AIMI vs. USA

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") is

proud to announce a Legal Victory!

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") vs. USA in International Court re Crimes Against Humanity

* Now gathering 100 cases of government abuse of mentally challenged Americans of all races to present a Complaint to the United Nations: rejection for treatment, long-term homelessness, hospital abuse, wrongful convictions, lengthy solitary confinement, police brutality, executions, and wrongful death cases. Call 678.531.0262 or Google Voice (571)335-1741. Email MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com. Title the email "AIMI v. USA."

* Also gathering 100 people victimized by mentally ill people or drug addicts who were denied treatment. If you were robbed, burglarized, assaulted, or had a relative who was killed by a mentally ill person or a drug/alcohol addict, please call us and email us.

* AIMI will demand monetary damages for claimants plus changes in how America treats mental illness and substance abuse. Incarceration must be replaced with adequate, timely treatment and subsistence assistance.

Continue to call and email until you reach Mary Neal. The government may not want you to be included in this international Complaint against the USA. The U.N. provides that abuses by government agents (including police, judges, and other officials) can be levied against its member states. It may not matter if your case is beyond the statute of limitations set by U.S. law or if it was dismissed by corrupt courts. Let our International Lawyer review your case.

This international action is intended to (1) pay restitution to affected parties, (2) protect Americans who have mental disabilities and drug/alcohol dependencies, and (3) protect innocent people who suffered at the hands of untreated mentally ill persons or drug and/or alcohol addicts.

AIMI believes that people with mental illness and drug or alcohol addictions are deliberately left untreated to commit crimes that will excuse long prison sentences. This is done to enlarge our prison population. At least one-half of America's inmates are mentally ill (1.25 million), and over one-half of the victims of police violence are also mentally ill. Sixty percent of inmates in solitary confinement (SHU) are mentally ill. The entire private prison system was created and is sustained by criminalizing mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions. Mentally challenged and addicted people deserve treatment, not punishment.

"AIMI vs. USA" will be filed with the International Court in 2015. All Claimants' cases will be reviewed by an International Lawyer, and those selected will be eligible for presentation in "AIMI vs. USA" for recovery of damages and change in how America responds to mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions.

Phone conferences to join Claimants in "AIMI vs. USA" in International Court are held on the first weekend in every month at 9am Pacific time, 10am Mountain Time, 11am Central, and 12 noon Eastern. Beginning dates were September 6 and 7.

President Orders a Review of Executions in USA

The New York Times reported on May 2, 2014, that the president declared [the] botched execution [of Clayton Lockett] in Oklahoma “deeply disturbing” and directed the attorney general . . . to review how the death penalty is applied in the United States at a time when it has become increasingly debated.

“In the application of the death penalty in this country, we have seen significant problems — racial bias, uneven application of the death penalty, you know, situations in which there were individuals on death row who later on were discovered to have been innocent because of exculpatory evidence,” Mr. Obama told reporters. “And all these, I think, do raise significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied.”

Especially with mystery drugs being used to execute Americans, many abolitionists are encouraged by the president's directive to review executions in the United States. The United Nations News Centre published an article regarding Oklahoma's botched execution. An excerpt is below:

UN rights office calls on US to impose death penalty moratorium after botched execution.

2 May 2014 – The suffering of United States inmate Clayton Lockett during his execution in Oklahoma on 29 April could amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment according to international human rights law, the United Nations said today, calling on the US authorities to impose an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty.

The prolonged death of Mr. Lockett – who reportedly died of a heart attack after an execution that went wrong – is the second case of apparent extreme suffering caused by malfunctioning lethal injections reported in 2014 in the US, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The other case was that of Dennis McGuire, executed by the state of Ohio on 16 January 2014 with an allegedly untested combination of drugs.

“The apparent cruelty involved in these recent executions simply reinforces the argument that authorities across the United States should impose an immediate moratorium on the use of the death penalty and work for abolition of this cruel and inhuman practice,” OHCHR spokesperson Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva.

The Death Penalty Information Center featured a book by Austin Sarat that regards botched executions. An excerpt is below:

A new book, "Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty," describes the history of flawed executions in the U.S. from 1890 to 2010. During that period, 8,776 people were executed, and 276 of those executions went wrong in some way. Of all the methods used, lethal injection had the highest rate of botched executions--about 7%. Austin Sarat, the author of the book and a professor of jurisprudence and political science at Amherst College, described the evolution of new methods of execution: "With each development in the technology of execution, the same promises have been made, that each new technology was safe, reliable, effective and humane. Those claims have not generally been fulfilled."

*****

IT IS A LEGAL VICTORY for the president to order a review of executions by the Justice Department. In addition to the obvious human rights issues, eliminating capital punishment would save significant financial resources that should be applied to improving life rather than taking lives.

Legal Victories Expected re Clemency and Pardons

On the day before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Michigan's right to ban affirmative action in its colleges and universities, Attorney General Eric Holder announced an expansive clemency review that could release thousands of prisoners. Below is an excerpt from the Daily Kos:

Attorney General Eric Holder announced in a video Monday, April 21, 2014, that the Department of Justice on Wednesday will lay out the details of expanded criteria for clemency recommendations it makes to the president for his review. The changes might mean thousands of prisoners could be granted clemency.

Holder did not say which prisoners might benefit from the coming changes. But he took note of the Fair Sentencing Act in 2010. That significantly but not wholly reduced the vast sentencing difference between convictions for crack and powder cocaine, a factor in the previous law that had had a tremendously disparate impact on African Americans. But the 2010 law did nothing for drug offenders sentenced before it took effect.

Holder said, "There are still too many people in federal prison who were sentenced under the old regime —and who, as a result, will have to spend far more time in prison than they would if sentenced today for exactly the same crime,” Holder said. “This is simply not right.”

We may owe this legal victory in part to the United Nations, which criticized the United States on mass incarceration and disparate racial sentencing in its report that was released in March 2014, saying:

“[The] committee continues to be concerned about racial disparities at different stages in the criminal justice system, sentencing disparities and the over-representation of individuals belonging to racial and ethnic minorities in prisons and jails.”

Al Jazeera reported, "The U.N. body calls on the U.S. to retroactively implement the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act and close a loophole that allows thousands of nonviolent offenders to languish in federal prisons as a result of draconian drug laws. The report also demands measures to end to racial profiling and praises steps to end New York City’s stop-and-frisk program."

CONGRATULATIONS, AMERICA. Reducing mass incarceration is a step toward justice - a legal victory for overly-sentenced inmates and for the nation.

Caribbean Nations Sue for Slavery Reparations

The British human rights firm Leigh Day has been hired by the Caribbean Community consortium to pursue slavery reparations and apologies from Britain, France and the Netherlands. The suit claims that these nations are responsible for lingering harms which can be attributed to the slave trade.

We congratulate the Caribbean Community and Leigh Day for pursuit of justice regarding human trafficking, slavery, economic and social injustices inflicted on the Caribbean people. 

Leigh Day is a specialist law firm with some of Britian's leading attorneys in personal injury, product liability, clinical negligence, employment and discrimination, international and human rights teams. Unlike other law firms, Leigh Day acts exclusively for claimants who've been injured or treated unlawfully by others.

Leigh Day represents the rights of people and the environment in a world of multi-national organisations and global responsibility. Over the last twenty years, Leigh Day has been involved in ground-breaking cases involving the claims of foreign nationals against UK-based multinational companies (MNCs) and government departments and the rights of British nationals abroad. These have included among others:

• Claims for Kenyan victims of torture at the hands of British officials during the Mau Mau independence movement in the 1950s and 1960s (Mutua & Ors v Foreign Commonwealth Office)
• The UK’s largest-ever group action on behalf of 30,000 Ivorians affected by toxic waste dumping in the Ivory Coast (Motto & Ors v Trafigura)
• Claims for thousands of South African mine workers who developed lung diseases following their exposure to asbestos and silica dust in the mines (Lubbe & Ors v Cape Plc; Chandler v Cape plc; Alpheus Zonisile Blom v Anglo American South Africa Limited (SA); Flatela Vava & Ors v Anglo American South Africa Limited (UK))
• Claims against African Barrick Gold on behalf of Tanzanian villagers for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by the use of excessive force by mine security and police
• Claims against the British Government for complicity in extraordinary rendition and torture in the war on terror (Binyam Mohammed v The Security Services & Ors; Abul-Hakim Belhadj & Or v Rt Hon Jack Straw MP and Ors)
• Claims on behalf of Iraqi and Afghan nationals detained and abused by British Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan (Muhanna & Ors v The Ministry of Defence; Dawood Mousa Al-Maliki on behalf of the Estate of Mr Baha Mousa(deceased) and Others v The Ministry of Defence; Serdar Mohammed v The Ministry of Defence)


Leigh Day: Human Rights Law Firm 
More information about Leigh Day is available at the website
http://www.leighday.co.uk/International-and-group-claims



Leigh Day says, "The common strand to these claims has been the pursuit of the rights of the individual against corporate and governmental bodies. The David vs Goliath battles are our forte and are why we are widely seen as the leading firm in this country in this type of case."

It is a legal victory for all people that the Caribbean nations united to sue for slavery reparations by Leigh Day, a law firm that is accomplished in pursuing justice under International Law. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that an injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. Empty-handed apologies for atrocious crimes against humanity are necessarily insincere and unacceptable, whether in the Caribbean, America, or elsewhere. Paying reparations would be good for all nations that engaged in slavery. Reparations would finally "clear the air." See an excerpt below from an article by MaryLovesJustice published in November 2013:


"12 Years a Slave: A Case for Reparations"
Some cannot rest easy living among people who were treated so horribly and who are yet victimized by economic depression, prison slavery and weekly lynchings. Therefore, they say "I felt threatened" when they kill us, and even liberal whites understand. For they, too, have felt that unreasonable fear. This explains why liberals tolerate oppressive laws like Stop & Frisk, and juries comprised of otherwise decent people release murderous police officers and ordinary white citizens who kill innocent, unarmed blacks. (Continue reading 
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/12-years-slave-case-for-reparations.html )

It has long been the practice to compensate people who were subjected to crimes against humanity. Consider reparations payouts illustrated on the chart below:






European nations do not embrace the opportunity to pay reparations. The Guardian reports that David Cameron has made clear he is ready to pull the UK out of the European convention on human rights if he believes it is necessary to keep Britain safe. This assertion was supposedly issued in connection with Britain's desire to deport people who are perceived as being a threat, but the Caribbean Community's lawsuit is probably a larger impetus.

"European Nations Attempt to Evade Reparations Lawsuit, But Caricom May Gain Political Leverage" ~ David Standard, the head of media relations at Leigh Day, said, “This was one of the most heinous periods of mankind. France, the Netherlands, Britain all massively benefited through the course of this time. It was built on the backs of the slavery trade. While one fully understands that these countries are not doing as well as they once were, at the same time, in the end if you have a debt due, you have a debt due."
http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/01/13/europe-nations-attempt-evade-reparations-lawsuit-caricom-may-gain-political-leverage/

Congratulations, Caribbean nations and Leigh Day! Congratulations to defendants in the lawsuit also. They have an opportunity before them to apply corrective measures to modern hardships caused by historic wrongs.

Dr. Mustafa Ansari, American Institute of Human Rights

Dr. Mustafa Ansari

Congratulations to Mustafa Ansari, international lawyer and dedicated human rights defender with 20 years proven record of accomplishments in legal education, human rights activism, and personnel management. He is Dean of the American Institute of Human Rights, and he is Chief Justice of Indigenous African American Reparations Tribunal. Below is a url carrying our interview with Dr. Mustafa Ansari on our "Human Rights for Prisoners March" Blogtalkradio show, recorded on Monday, February 3.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nnia1/2014/02/04/human-rights-for-prisoners-march

Dr. Ansari spoke about CLE classes for attorneys and judges in international human rights law as well as classes and certification for human rights defenders and human rights monitors. Dr. Ansari is committed spreading knowledge about America's human rights treaties and laws (such as EO 13107). Courses are available through Internet access to equip both attorneys and qualified non-attorneys to file complaints directly with the International Court.

Dr. Ansari and the International Institute of Human Rights are anxious to acquaint more people with human rights laws. He also would like for more attorneys to learn International Law and cite international laws and treaties when defending clients and writing pleadings in civil actions. Many justice quests that may have failed in America's courts should be taken before the International Court.
