Greetings Family

I need yur support.

What they are doing our children has to be challenged and
exposed. If we do nothing, then their continued suffering
is blood on our hands.

One of my Rites of Passage students, Dasheem Ferron, 16
yrs old, nephew of and in the care of Sister Basiyma Bey,
was incarcerated at PIC, an adult correctional facility on
March 23rd. (Can yu imagine.) His home was stormed by SWAT
in the middle of the night. He had been identified by a
young women who is a known crack addict as being on the
street at the time of a shooting and robbery. He was not
identitfied as the shooter or a participant in the
robberry in anyway. In fact witnesses describe an older
male with a dark complexion, dressed in long winter coat
on a day when the temperature reached above 60 degrees.
Dasheem stated he was standing on the steps of a
neighborhood store with a friend when he heard a gunshot
from across the street, so he ran for cover. The owner of
the store will corroborate his statement and will testify
that Dasheem left the store about the time the shots were
fired, and that he was not dressed in a long coat. We can
all testify that he does not have a dark complexion. In
fact the detectives stated themselves to Sister Basiyma
when the stormed her house that they knew he wasnt
involved but they think he knows the shooter and unless he
identifies him they were going to charge him.
There is absolutely no way Dasheem would be involved in
such activity

Dasheem Ferron, 16 years old, birthday 6/21/91. 11th
grade. A and B student
attends Strawberry Mansion High School
aspires to be a doctor
never been in trouble
Student Government Asscoiation Deputy
does community projects with 31st and Berks garden, UNIA
and Marcus Garvey Parade, and the David P Richarson
African Centered Rites of Passage Program
Is one of the most gentle teenagers yu will ever meet
He and his brother assisted last year with mowing the loan
and cleaning the Hatfield House grounds for the Drum
Festival last year. He has worked with me as a laborer and
painter and has my complete trust.

Well inspite of all of this and Dasheem's innocence, he
has been charged with armed robbery, conspiracy,
attempted murder and as many charges as the cops could
mount. Trust me, he is innocent of all charges. They
really have no evidence to the contrary. They altered his
birthdate tomake it appear he is 18. The judge refused
even to move him to JDC.

Unfortunately his bail is $35,000.00. We have to raise
$3,500.00 by Friday to get him out, or he will sit in an
adult facility for another month until another hearing is
held. A bail reduction request was denied.
I am asking yu to assist me in raising the bail most of
which will be returned when he appears in court. Even
$100.00 or any amt yu can provide
yu can call me at 267-235-9111, or Sister Basiyma
at215-668-1181, or Brother Supreme at 267-377-9552. Please
family. Another young life is about to be ruined

Sistar Natty Reb Im soo sorry to hear this...So many of our brother's are in jail just because "the man" wants them out the way, They enter the system at a young age and some is unfortunate to be there until they are older men the united states justice system is more crooked than a barrel of snakes
