Clarence Ray Allen, a Choctaw Indian, will turn 76 years old on Jan. 16, 2006, the day before the state intends to execute him on January 19, in San Quentin. A few months ago, Mr. Allen "flatlined" (died) from a heart attack... and was resuscitated by the medical staff, so that he can be properly executed in January 06! San Quentin Correctional Facility has issued a statement that Mr. Allen, although wheelchair bound, will have to walk 15 feet to the death gurney, because the death chamber is not wheelchair accessible...

His situation is dramatically different from that of Tookie Williams,executed on December 13, 2005,who has been the subject of a highly visible clemency campaign. In contrast, Mr.Allen's case has not displayed any visible public support. His attorneys have raised a poignant question :Is it appropriate to execute someone who is old and infirm? There are now five condemned men in California who are over 70 and nearly three dozen in their 60s. Since California reinstated capital punishment, 31 men have died on death row of natural causes and 11 have been executed. The oldest person executed in California in the modern era was brain damaged 62-year-old Donald Beardslee, who was murdered by CA State in February 2005.

This website has been set up by Idriss Stelley Foundation to build support in order to save Mr. Allen from legitimized State murder, and allow him to die with dignity when his ancestors will call him to join them.

Please spread the word among your friends and supporters of ending the criminal, racist Death Penalty ! We especially appeal to the Native American and Disabled, and Senior Communities to help us save Mr. Allen's life !
