>---------------------------------
>To whom it may concern:
>
>Jeffrey Luers is a political prisoner serving a
>22 year prison sentence for actions that did not
>physically threaten, let alone harm anyone.
>
>Prior to his imprisonment, Mr. Luers was a very
>well-liked community activist in Eugene, Oregon.
>He was known to law enforcement because of his
>involvement with forest defense and anti-police
>brutality activism.
>
>Mr. Luers was arrested in June, 2000, after
>leaving the scene of a fire at a Romania car
>dealership in Eugene, Oregon. He was initially
>charged with three counts of First Degree arson
>for setting fire to three Sports Utility
>Vehicles [SUVs] at the car dealership, and later
>received additional charges of Attempted Arson
>and Conspiracy to Commit Arson at Tyree Oil
>Company.
>
>Mr. Luers admits to having committed an act of
>property destruction at the Romania dealership.
>The stated purpose of this act was to bring
>attention to global warming and the increasing
>environmental crisis facing the world because of
>it. Mr. Luers took measures to make sure that no
>one would be injured as a result of his actions
>[an arson specialist and the Romania Night
>Watchman later confirmed at the trial this fire
>did not pose a threat to human beings]. He
>denies being involved in - or even knowing about
>- the attempted arson at the Tyree Oil Company.
>There was no physical evidence presented that
>tied him to the latter incident. Fingerprints
>found at the scene of the crime did not match
>Mr. Luersí or those of his co-defendant.
>
>During the course of his trial, statements were
>made by the police and prosecuting attorney that
>indicated it was Mr. Luers' political views on
>trial, not merely his actions. His defense
>successfully proved that evidence had been
>tampered with, officers had lied and that the
>prosecutor had manipulated evidence to get a
>legal search at his residence.
>
>The defense had the upper hand until the
>untimely death of Mr. Luersí lead attorney, Ken
>Morrow. This caused the judge to declare a
>mistrial leading to significant delays, allowing
>the prosecution to regroup and rethink their
>strategy.
>
>Perhaps most significantly, the judge threw out
>the testimony of Mr. Luersí expert witness
>merely because he disagreed with the stateís
>witnesses. The expert witness had done a more
>thorough investigation of the crime scenes
>(including taking photos of the burned vehicles
>that the police did not) than the Eugene Police
>Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
>and Firearms.
>
>In June of 2001, Mr. Luers was convicted of 11
>of 13 charges and sentenced to 22 years
>imprisonment. Under Oregonís Measure 11
>mandatory-minimum sentencing guidelines, he does
>not have the possibility of parole or early
>release.
>
>The length of this sentence is patently unjust,
>particularly when compared to those commonly
>given to people convicted of crimes against
>persons. For example, Manslaughter 1 carries a
>10 year sentence; Attempted Murder, only 7
>and-a-half years; Rape 1, 8 years and four
>months. Clearly, Jeffreyís sentence is vastly
>disproportionate to the crime of burning three
>vehicles. A research project sponsored by
>supporters of Mr. Luers and the Human Rights
>Commission of the City of Eugene revealed this
>disparity and prompted the Commission to sign a
>statement questioning the role Mr. Luers
>politics may have played in his sentence.
>
>Mr. Luers was given a sentence that would send
>the message to environmental and social justice
>activists that even a merely symbolic act of
>property destruction would now be equated with
>terrorism and punished more harshly than many
>crimes against persons. Since his imprisonment,
>Mr. Luers has been labeled by the FBI and
>corporate press as an ìeco-terrorist.î This
>label has been used by the Oregon Department of
>Corrections to justify placing Mr. Luers at
>Security Threat Group status ñ a designation
>typically reserved for white supremacists and
>gang members.
>
>During these difficult times, we must work
>diligently to ensure that the basic civil rights
>of everyone are equally protected and upheld. We
>cannot tolerate the criminalization of dissent
>or repression against activists, even if we may
>not agree with their tactics.
>
>Mr. Luers is a sincere young man, and has a
>tremendous amount to offer the community. We
>feel that it would be an injustice to keep him
>locked up during the most precious years of his
>life. He has stated that, if released, he would
>continue to be active in efforts to protect the
>environment, but would avoid activities that
>would lead him back to prison.
>
>In light of Mr. Luers stated political beliefs
>and the unusual length of his sentence, we
>recognize him as a political prisoner. We also
>support his appeal process, and call for a
>review of his sentence that would lead to a
>reduction in time served.
