NYPD slave catcher taken off the streets for drug trafficking




New Abolitionists Radio seeks to educate the public and agitate for an end to 21st Century Slavery and Human Trafficking in the USA & Globally. It is an extension of the group Move To Abolish 21st Century Slavery

In today's abolitionists news, An NYPD officer who two years ago won a "Police Officer of the Year" award got busted in a reverse sting operation organized by the Sunrise City Police Department.
Have you ever wondered just how much your state government is profiting off of 13th Amendment slavery? Unfortunately, we have another case of proxy racism where a Black person has been found to be among those in Tennessee engaging in modern slavery where a state run prison is being closed to make way for a CCA owned for-profit prison.

The US government is shielding government employees and officials from being held criminally accountable for the very serious federal crime of torture not to mention these are gross violations of the UN Convention Against Torture and Inhumane Degrading Treatment. However, why are the details so shocking to some when the same human rights violations and worse are committed against prisoners daily in prisons across America?

Our state profile in slavery will be Virginia. Our abolitionist in profile will be Peter Williams Jr.

Mark Clements of No More Death Penalty out of Chicago joins us to discuss police brutality and other related issues in the Chicago area.

In 1981 Mark Clements was a 16 year old juvenile who was kidnapped by cops and taken to Area Three Violent Crime Unit. Mark's parents where not notified of his detainment and he was subsequently tortured by Chicago police into falsely confessing to an arson fire that killed four people. He served 28 years inside the Illinois Department of Corrections on a natural life sentence before his sentence and conviction were overturned.

Chicago Police tortures in the city of Chicago under Jon Burge first occurred in 1972. Burge and his subordinates went on to beat and torture as many as 200 African American and Latino men getting them all to confess to crimes they all say they did not commit.

Mark played a very key role in Jon Burge being found guilty for perjury and obstruction of Justice in which he was found guilty and sentence to four and a half years. Burge will be released from a North Carolina prison in October, 2014. Burge nor any one of his subordinates have ever been charged with the tortures.

Today Mark is a wrongful conviction coordinator with the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the administrator over the Campaign to End the Death Penalty.

Mark can be reached via Facebook at Mark A. Clements and on twitter @Prisonerspeaks or by telephone at 1-847-276-1382.
