AR-News: Update: Vegan prisoner needs letters of support from B.C. residents: Bruce Friedrich brucef at peta.org Sat Jan 17 23:17:58 EST 2004 Previous message: AR-News: Big Beef’s Dirty War Next message: AR-News: (UK) Scientists aim to turn salmon vegetarian Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith was transferred a few times and isn't sure that he will get mail that arrived while he was away from the Port Coquitlam facility. He still needs letters from B.C. residents (details below). Best to fax to 800 number and mail original to him. Thanks to all who can help. If you are sending a letter, can you reply so I can tell him what to expect, please? I am back at the pretrial facility, but, they will not give me assurances that they will keep me here. However, they forwarded some of my mail ,so, I guess the best thing to do is to have anyone who wants to write a letter to fax it to me at 1-800-572-4403 or to send it here at: 1451 Kingsway Avenue Port Coquitlam, BC V3C1S2 Canada I received the newspaper articles at my USA address. Thank You for your help...it is greatly appreciated! -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Friedrich [mailto:brucef at peta.org] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 12:27 PM To: Ar-News (ar-news at envirolink.org) Subject: Vegan prisoner needs letters of support from B.C. residents: Keith Maydak is a prisoner in B.C. who is being held awaiting extradition to the U.S. He is the fellow responsible for getting vegan meals introduced into all U.S. Federal Prisons (by suing the system) some years back. See Keith's email, below (he has someone typing for him), to find out about his situation and what you can do to help if you live in B.C.

The more letters I receive, the better it will be. On the other hand, don't go through too much trouble. Their " beef" with me is that I have no community ties.

I didn't want to bother you over the holidays and I had a scheduling hearing on January 5th that I had to prepare for . I fired my lawyer and I am doing everything myself. Anyway, here are example letters for B.C. residents. They can be in any form and say anything.
