500+ WILL CONVERGE ON THE BOLIVIAN MISSION IN NYC
April 30, 2012 – A press conference will be
held in front of the Bolivian Mission to the United Nations to rally support
for Jacob Ostreicher, an innocent New York businessman who has now been
confined for 11 months in one of Bolivia’s most notoriously dangerous prisons
without being charged.
Bolivian authorities have spent the time investigating
Ostreicher for money-laundering, after nearly 30 hearings, prosecutors have
presented no evidence to back their allegations that the American did anything
wrong. The United States Department of
State has had no luck talking to the Bolivian government, and the United
Nations Human Rights Commission is “monitoring” Jacob’s situation.
On Tuesday, May 8th, ABC News Nightline hosted by Terry Moran will air a
segment about Jacob’s plight. In advance
of this airing, Jacob’s family is holding a rally at the door of the Permanent Mission of Bolivia to the
United Nations. 211 East 43rd Street at 11:00 AM on Thursday, May 3rd,
2012.
Jacob’s wife Miriam, his children, grandchildren, community
and public leaders along with 500 of his friends and supporters will stand in
solidarity with Jacob Ostreicher to demand that Bolivia end his wrongful
imprisonment and release him immediately.
WHO: 500+ of Jacob
Ostreicher’s Family, friends and supporters
WHAT: A
Rally in Support of Jacob’s plight and an appeal for his release
WHY: An
American has been wrongfully imprisoned in Bolivia and he needs to come home
WHEN: Thursday,
May 3, 2012 at 11:00AM
WHERE: Permanent
Mission of Bolivia to the United Nations. 211 East 43rd Street
