I've seen Jawara in the hospital and his condition is appalling. America
is NOT a civilized society. America makes **** Germany look tame by
comparison, don't believe me? Look what the USA did in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Gitmo, Libya, ****, Vietnam, it's disgraceful. How should
America be judged? Related article: US Military Atrocities in Iraq, Afhganistan and Gitmo worse than **** Germany
Jawara was arrested for simple marijuana possession. He was attacked and
beaten into a coma in his cell by the police. This could have been
anyone one of us even your own child. The US government is completely
out of control. Who will stand with me and seek REVENGE for Jawara? END **** of black males go to CopsRCorrupt.com and learn how to FIGHT BACK.
Peter Tosh was an original founding member of The Wailers, alongside Bob
Marley and Bunny Wailer. Peter Tosh and Bob Marley co-authored the
world-renowned freedom fighters anthem, “Get Up, Stand Up,” which was
adopted as Amnesty International’s official song. Ironically, Peter
Tosh’s own son now remains in a coma struggling for his life due to the
same injustices his father fought against. Ndaba Mandela, has lent his
voice from across the globe calling for Justice for Jawara. “Like my
grandfather Nelson Mandela, Peter Tosh was a real revolutionary. Peter
adamantly opposed the apartheid regime performing at antiapartheid
concerts at a time when my grandfather was imprisoned for fighting for
equal rights of Black South Africans. Now, his son Jawara remains in a
coma after being brutally beaten while in custody on marijuana charges.
We cannot be silent in the face of such inhumanity.”
Jawara McIntosh is 37 years-old, and like his father is a reggae
artist known by the stage name “Tosh 1.” Jawara is a practicing
Rastafarian and advocate for the legalization of marijuana, having
recently performed at the Freedom Rally in Boston, Massachusetts. Within
the Rastafari faith cannabis is a sacred herb, and has many known
medicinal properties and values. Peter Tosh wrote and performed the
iconic song, “Legalize It;” which became the soundtrack of the movement
toward legalization of cannabis and which Jawara regularly performed.
Family attorney Jasmine Rand states: “Many states and nations have begun
the process of the legalization of cannabis in recognition of its
medicinal, spiritual, industrial and recreational value; but far too
many people continue to be stripped of their freedom for cannabis
related charges resulting in mass incarceration, police ****, and
murder. Criminalizing cannabis legalizes the deprivation of human
rights.” Jawara’s family calls for justice: “Our family will fight
harder now than ever to Legalize It. We know that our father is here
with us today strengthening our voices to fight for his son Jawara, and
for our brothers and sisters throughout the world in jail, brutalized,
or murdered over an herb that has the power to heal nations.”
The family retained civil rights attorney Jasmine Rand who is known for
fighting against police **** and systemic inequities having
represented the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, and local
counsel Shelley Stangler who has handled multiple significant civil
rights cases. Civil rights leaders including Reverend Al Sharpton and
Ndaba Mandela, the grandson of Nelson Mandela, support Jawara and his
family.
