Pardoned Death Row Prisoners Speaks Out

*Madison Hobley, freed death row prisoner, pardoned by Gov. Ryan
*Leroy Orange, freed death row prisoner, pardoned by Gov. Ryan
*Ron Jones, former Illinois death row prisoner, exonerated by DNA
*Danielle Jones, daughter of pardoned death row prisoner Stanley
Howard
*David Bates, exonerated Burge torture victim, Justice Coalition
Greater Chicago
*Joan Parkin, Campaign to End the Death Penalty
*Pastor Larry Turpin, United Church of Hyde Park

Join us to celebrate this huge victory for those who languished on
death row for years. These men are finally free to tell their stories
of how they were tortured and coerced into confessing to crimes they
did not commit.

The Campaign to End the Death Penalty, family members and activists
have fought for years to expose this injustice and made it possible
for these men to tell their stories in person. Governor George Ryan's
blanket commutation is a huge victory and a huge step forward for the
abolitionist movement.

Abolition now!
