ACTION ALERT
We desperately need your help! On December 6, 1994 the NC
Department of Correction transferred Eddie Hatcher to Stanly
Correctional Center located in Albemarle, NC which is one of
the most racist areas of the state. In less than two weeks,
white officers and a racist superintendent have mocked
Eddie's Native American religious items: have threatened
taking his religious items: have daily harassed him: and
now, have ignored medical staff who ordered Eddie not to do
any more work until he was seen by the physician and ordered
Eddie to work. Moreover, with the serious threats and
attacks which Eddie has been subjected to, the staff
attempted to force Eddie beyond the gates of the prison
under a gun to work next to the highway.
We need your help. We firmly believe that Eddie is at grave
risk and that the government is purposely subjecting him in
a position of being harassed or receiving additional time.
Please fax and telephone the office of:
Mack Jarvis, Deputy Secretary of Corrections
tele-919-733-4926
fax-919-733-4790
NC Governor, Jim Hunt,
tele-919-733-4240
fax-919-733-2120
and demand that the discriminatory harassment and threats
cease and that Eddie Hatcher be treated fairly and
transferred from this prison.
Thank you.
Thelma Clark

NATIVE AMERICAN POLITICAL PRISONER IN NORTH CAROLINA
EDDIE HATCHER is being held in prison for no other reason
than his attempt to expose major cocaine trafficking by
Robeson County officials, state and federal officials. In
1988 Eddie was tried in federal court for terrorist acts
against the US, hostage taking and weapons charges. The
state of NC dismissed state charges in favor of federal
charges. After a three week trial, where Eddie was denied to
be represented by his attorney, William Kunstler, and was
forced to represent himself, a jury of 12 people found him
NOT GUILTY on all counts, saying he was justified in his
actions. Six weeks later the state of NC re-indicted Eddie
on the same charges. Eddie hatcher has been denied parole
six [6] times. He is a first time offender and has served
over 6 years on an 18 year sentence.
Eddie is designated and recognized as a Political Prisoner
by the NC Council of Churches, the National Council of
Churches and the World Council of Churches and his case is
annually presented before the united Nations Human Rights
Conference in Geneva.
Call, fax or write the Governor, the parole commission and
the new Speaker of the NC House and ask why is Eddie Hatcher
being held in NC prison when drug dealers, child molesters
and murderers are being paroled. Ask why the government has
led such a battle of persecution against Eddie Hatcher and
his family.
