Small Victories: HRDW cases that won early releases

While recognizing that the institutional injustices remain in place and the vast majority of Drug War POWs continue to suffer needlessly behind bars, it is also important to recognize the victories that have occurred in terms of early releases. We congratulate these HRDW participants, we express gratitude to those who helped them win their freedom, and we call upon those in power to become active in fighting for or granting more such releases.

Thank you for helping them win early release.
