Harold Thompson, anarchist prisoner in Tennesee, attacked by Aryan Brotherhood nazis

Posted 17:15 05 November 2005: MESSAGE REPOSTED FROM EMAIL RECEIVED: Just this past week, Harold Thompson, an anarchist prisoner in Tiptonville, TN, was attacked by five or six Aryan Brotherhood nazis while doing work in the law library in Tennesee's Northwest Correctional Complex.

He suspects one of the prison staff, a racist sympathizer, might be in on it as well. He seems to be doing all right, nothing is broken, but every time he clears his throat or blows his nose he is spitting up blood.

He's asked for the word to be spread on the internet, and has asked folks to call and write the Warden of Tennesse, Tony Parker, "to find out what is up with this prison when an older man is mobbed by AB punks while working in a protective custory segregation unit?".

Harold welcomes correspondence and can be written at:

Harold H. Thompson #93992
Northwest Correctional Complex
960 State Route 212
Tiptonville, Tennessee 38079, U.S.A

The number for the prison is (731) 253-5000.

Harold is asking supporters to write to either the Warden of the prison or the Commissioner of the prison service in Tennessee, or both regarding this attack to make sure the authorities are aware friends of Harold are watching developments. Please keep your letters polite and factual.
