WHO
IS ALVARO?
Alvaro wins transferChicano Mexicano Prisoner of War Alvaro Luna Hernandez has been transferred. His new address is: Alvaro
Luna Hernandez In August, Alvaro was accused by prison administrators of gang affiliations and transferred to X-Wing (investigative/administrative segregation) of the Beto Unit. Alvaro has consistently denied gang affiliations and states he was targeted because of his political views, and connections he made with fellow Mexicano captives. This segregation was part of a campaign of harassment by prison administrators that included, at one point, transferring Alvaro from laundry room to field labor work detail and threats from guards. After sustained outside pressure, Alvaro was granted his request for transfer. "This victory could not have been possible without the enormous support that I received from many people and groups," Alvaro writes. "It is only through the power of mass mobilizations that we can be victorious against the prison-industrial beast." |
