Greetings!

NATIVO FREED AFTER FOUR
DAYS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

After being incarcerated for fours days in the Los Angeles County Jail, Nativo Lopez was finally liberated on Monday, March 29th, in the afternoon. He had earlier appeared in the Los Angeles Superior Court in front of Judge Kristi Lousteau who apologized profusely for the "mix-up" of being held unlawfully in the county jail against his will. She indicated that there did not exist any order for the continued detention, and acknowledged that Nativo had an O.R. (non-monetary bond to remain free during the course of the legal proceedings) release that she had not ordered revoked.

Upon his release, Nativo declared, "I express my deep appreciation to all the friends, family, and supporters that immediately responded to the call of MAPA to demand my release from the jaws of injustice. It wasn't a pretty experience, but our people face much worst calamities every day of the year than anything to which I was subjected. I learned much about the county jail facility, the racial make-up of the incarcerated, and the changing color of faces of the Sheriff's Department. Most importantly, I gained valuable experience about the issue of jurisdiction, the efforts of the judicial-police system to subject you to their jurisdiction, the many tricks they use to get jurisdiction, and can prevent and avoid them jurisdiction."

Nativo reported that he began a fast as soon as he was taken into custody on Thursday, refused any food from the county jail to avoid receiving any benefit, and did not break his fast until he was liberated on Monday. And, he did so in a thankful meal with friends and family.

Nativo was forced to disrobe completely before eight sheriff offices, three of whom were female, one of which videotaped the episode during the first processing into the jail. They proceeded to forcefully put prison garb on him, take his photograph and fingerprints. Nativo reported that "this constituted a robbery of my property that has value, even though we have never been taught to consider such as personal property. No one has the right to take your property without your permission, unless you consent. And, most times we allow this to occur by remaining silent, which constitutes acquiescence and in contract terms is interpreted as consent, or live under the false belief that the authorities have the inherent right to do with our bodies as they please. This is not so."

NEXT COURT DATE - Judge Lousteau ordered the next court appearance date of April 8, 2010 to continue the legal proceedings against Nativo Lopez. The eight felony charges result from an allegation of voter fraud in which the Los Angeles District Attorney alleged that Nativo's use of the office of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana in Los Angeles as a domicile for voter registration and voter purposes was illegal and inappropriate. This occurred in 2006 and 2007, however, the prosecution did not occur until June, 2009.

*Thursday, April 8, 2010, 8:30 a.m. at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Dept. 36, third floor, 210 W. Temple Street, Los Angeles.

We exhort all supporters to attend this most important court hearing. Nativo "qualifies it as a great learning moment about defending your rights before the statutory jurisdiction of our judicial system, and how anyone can do this with a little bit of knowledge and training." We invite you to avail yourself of this learning and teaching moment.
