Prisoners Of Conscience Event

Prisoners Of Conscience Event - 2008

John Toren with Patrick Liteky's memorial sign. John dedicated his walk to Patrick. John had walked with Patrick before and related to the other walkers about the last time he saw Patrick. It was at Y12 and Patrick was going to cross the "Blue Line". If you stepped foot over the "Blue Line" you were arrested by the Federal authorities. In Patrick's case he received 6 month in jail. It wasn't Patrick's first time either. Patrick has been in prison a total of about 12 years for all his civil disobedience actions. "I stood in front of him, held him and with tears streaming down my face I tried to taking him out of doing it" John told us. But he wouldn't listen. "Patrick you have done enough, please don't go" John tried but to no avail. "Patrick took one of the dummy bodies and climbed over the fence that the Feds had put across the road to block us out. He walked up to the man in charge and tried to hand him the body. The man rejected it and two of the armed guards took it from Patrick, hand cuffed him and haul him off to a van. It was the last time I saw Patrick! I will never forget him!".
