Statement from the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression: FREE ANTHONY GAY NOW!
Peoria, IL – Anthony Gay, a political prisoner in the Illinois Department of Corrections, awaits a decision by Judge James Shadid in Federal Court in Peoria. His attorney, Jennifer Soble of the Illinois Prison Project, argued for Mr. Gay to be released from Peoria County Jail and put on electronic monitoring while he awaits sentencing in September. Attorney Soble noted that Anthony is not a violent offender, suffers from PTSD, and that time in the Peoria County Jail is harming his mental state.

On May 19th, in Peoria, Illinois, Anthony Gay was convicted in federal court and is now a political prisoner based on false charges of illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition as a felon.
