Protest to release Dr. Malachi York in Toronto
In a demonstration on Labor Day, protesters in support of
Dr. Malachi York's release created a controversial
protest by dressing in inmate uniforms and sitting in a
prison cell with a sign 'Freedom Not Torture.'
On Monday,
activists in Toronto were protesting to release Dr. Malachi
York (also known as Dwight York) because he is, according to
a website called InnocenceSociety.org, being wrongfully
detained and receiving cruel and unusual punishment.
The 64-year-old
writer is also a teacher, Consul General of Liberia,
musician and a scholar and written on many topics such as
Egyptology, science, religion, world politics and other
important issues. In May 2002, the scholar was arrested on
child molestation charges however; the group claims that he
was given a 'bogus trial with an anonymous jury and
sentenced to 135 years in prison.' York was sentenced in
April 2004 and is being illegally detained in Florence ADMAX,
which is suspected to be the most dangerous prison in the
United States.

According to one
report on
www.InnoncenceSociety.org one of the child victims may
have just told the cops what they wanted to hear, ‘I told
them what they wanted to hear because I felt that I would go
to jail if I didn’t go along with what they were saying,’
the girl stated in a court report.
One alleged victim was even bribed by a FBI agent. The agent
said that if he were to cooperate then he could get his
mother out of prison, nevertheless he still testified that
he was never molested.
