Appeal to President-Elect Clinton 



Free Lyndon LaRouche 



Dear President-Elect Clinton: 



In the course of your election campaign, 

 and following your election as the Presi- 

 dent of the United States, you pledged to 

 bring about a change in American policy. 

 We welcome this intent and wish you cour- 

 age and steadfastness for this difficult task. 



We call upon you to take a first step in 

 this direction: To end a crying injustice- 

 see to it that Lyndon LaRouche is immedi- 

 ately set free and exonerated. 



Lyndon LaRouche, who is innocent, has 

 been incarcerated as a political prisoner in 

 the federal prison in Rochester, Minnesota 

 since January 1989. He committed no 

 crime; his sentencing and imprisonment 

 were the result of years-long slanders and 

 persecutions by forces of the Reagan-Bush 

 administration, in combination with the 

 media and private organizations, as well 

 as forces of the secret services of formerly 

 communist states. 



Over 1,000 prominent jurists from all 

 over the world have protested publicly 

 against this abuse of justice, in the course 

 of which LaRouche and a number of his 

 associates were supposed to be eliminated 

 as an undesired opposition. Hundreds of 

 parliamentarians and other prominent 

 personalities from all over the world have 

 joined this protest. 



The LaRouche case was presented to the 

 Human Rights Commission of the United 

 Nations several times; U.N. Special Rap-

porteur Angelo Vidal d'Almeida Ribeiro in- 

 cluded the case in his report last year to the 

 U.N. Commission on Human Rights. 



Since then, explosive new material has 

 come to light documenting the political 

 motivation behind this persecution. One 

 U.S. court has, in fact, ruled that the trial 

 had come into being as a result of "con- 

 structive fraud" on the part of the gov- 

 ernment. 



We are outraged over the arrogance of 

 the Bush government, which ignored all 

 protests and appeals. Yet it was George 

 Bush himself, who in 1988, i.e., before 

 LaRouche had been indicted in Alexandria, 

 Va., declared in public that LaRouche be- 

 longed behind bars, thus, as Vice President, 

 anticipating any legal procedure. 



We, the undersigned, see ourselves as 

 members of an international coalition to 

 free Lyndon LaRouche. We appeal to you, 

 President Clinton: Give a signal that you 

 seriously mean to bring about change: Act! 

 Take the necessary steps immediately to 

 set LaRouche and his associates free! 



I join the international coalition to free 

 Lyndon LaRouche and endorse the above 

 appeal. I agree to have my name published 

 with this appeal in American or European 

 newspapers. 



This appeal has been endorsed by hundreds 

 of individuals, of whom the following is a
