Take Action with INTRAA: Help stop police abuse of transwomen
Mariah Lopez and Christina Sforza have come forward with allegations of abuse by the NYPD, which if substantiated amount to serious human rights violations. And despite repeated calls by Amnesty International for an investigation, no progress has been reported.
Ms. Lopez's and Ms. Sforza's cases, which may involve torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, false arrest and possibly denial of access to essential medication, fit the pattern of abuse documented by AI's Stonewalled report.
Here's what you can do:
* Read the latest update that includes a description of these cases and ways to get involved and speak out against abuse of transgender human rights.
* Call on the NYPD to conduct immediate and impartial investigations into the allegations of mistreatment and to ensure that any officers found guilty are brought to justice!
We urge you to take action, speak out against injustice, and ensure that the rights of all people are respected.
