Updates
Hamedah Hasan is currently still incarcerated in Victorville,
California. She is enrolled in college.
For news about federal sentencing reforms, please visit FAMM.org
A short version of Perversion of Justice has been accepted to
the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah via a competition
run by Current TV. This short version will also air on Current
TV. Check back soon for airdates.
Hamedah and her family were thrilled by the recent decisions
by the Supreme Court and the United States Sentencing Commission.
The Supreme Court recently ruled that the federal sentencing guidelines
should be only advisory, not mandatory. The Sentencing Commission
made new, lower crack cocaine federal sentencing guidelines retroactive.
Hamedah and her attorneys will file a motion in March calling
for her sentence be reduced at least three years and perhaps more.
She would appreciate your prayers and continued support during
this time.
We were disheartened to hear that Hamedah's presidential commutation
request was recently denied more than four years after the initial
application. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
