PRESS RELEASE 16TH September 2008 On the 1ST July 2008 we released a statement informing you on the plight of William Coleman, an innocent man wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit. Since September 16th 2007 he has stopped taking solid food and has maintained his hunger protest despite losing vast weight and falling ill on occasions. The sole reason for his protest is to protect his children and highlight to others what damage is done. He has now decided, from the 16th September 2008 to stop taking all fluid and escalate his protest. This is a decision that has not come with difficulty as his family and supporters over the past 4 years have deterred him in any way possible to prevent this from happening. However, we are unable to convince him to stop and his decision is made. We would all urge you to help us in any way, as time will soon run out if we are unable to help him. Bill has expressed in no uncertain terms that he does not want to be force fed for which the DOC have applied and succeeded in getting a court order to just do that. The executer of his Will and his right to attorney, a family member, has also expressed in no uncertain terms that force feeding does not happen. The help Bill need is legal and if the case was reopened to investigate the circumstances surrounding his case, he would stop his protest. There for we urge as many as possible to help us help and innocent man before it is too late. We feel that time is running out, help now. Thank you for your time, From Bill’s Family, friends and supports
