Ojore Lutalo, New Afrikan Anarchist/Black Liberation Army member, who just got released August 28, 2009 after serving 28 years(22 which were in isolation) was arrested last night. He had visited LA for the Anarchist Bookfair, and on his way back home(on train) he was arrested for "endangering public transportation", but he has no idea what that refers to. His arraignment is tomorrow, and his bail is being set to a minimum of $10,000. If people could organize some type of fund raising event that would be great. At minimum get the word out. In the words of Ojore Lutalo himself, "Any movement that does not support its political internees is a sham movement."
Smash the State harder than they smash us. Freedom will be ours.
I will send out information as it comes out.

Please forward to anyone that needs or wants an update, so we can get some funds raised.
Ojore had an arraignment this morning, Thursday January 28, at 11 am in the La Junta City Courthouse. Ojore was formally charged with “Interfering with Public Transportation,”a class 3 felony, based on allegations from train passengers that Ojore made “terroristic threats against the train” while on a personal phone call while he was a passenger the Amtrak train. Ojore has said that he was having a political conversation with a friend at the time.
The prosecution initially asked for a $50,000 bond citing Ojore’s previous ”criminal” background and imprisonment as well as him being an out of state resident.
The defense argued for a $1,000 bond citing Ojore’s links to the Denver community and housing available to him as well as his previous imprisonment being a “politically biased imprisonment”.
The judge ruled that Ojore’s bond would be set at $30,000, justifying this amount because Ojore is an out of state resident, and in 1982 Ojore was convicted of a failure to appear charge and presently posed a flight risk due to this history.
Denver Anarchist Black Cross Federation members were present for the hearing and are presently in La Junta working to bail him out. A bondsmen has been secured that will post bond for Ojore at the cost of $4,500. This cost has been fronted by various amazing folks from across the country, but much of this money is being loaned. Ojore is in major need of donations to help pay these loans back!
The Philadelphia Anarchist Black Cross Federation is accepting donations for this effort. Donations can be sent via paypal to: timABCF@aol.com
