Chris is being held in isolation for 23hours a day and has no access to reading material his books have been taken from him. Chris's family have not received a single telephone call from Chris since he was shipped to America on 24th February now 5 days ago. See below how to help.
Chris appeared briefly in court in El Paso on 28th Feb, whilst there he was observed by a Briton working as a Press Photographer to be looking frail. All are concerned about Chris.

What an utter disgrace, I am horrified at the UK Gov's lack of conscience. They are nothing more than puppets to the US and do as they are commanded. I say get rid of the Government, they are not fit for purpose! They do not protect their own citizens...they must go!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI am a Development Producer in the UK. I am researching into a potential documentary about Britons being extradited and I would love to get in touch with you to have a chat about Richard and the other stories and people you are helping. Would you be willing to drop me an email to naomi@rainydaytv.co.uk?

Hi Julia
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Theresa May extradition on Richard butas you see the Tories Cameron broke his word I have supported all facing extradition. I dont know what it is but the UK government is terrified of the US but I notice the US did not hand over the soldier who killed those innocent civilians.
