93c Venner Road, Sydenham, London SE26 5HU. 020 8659 7713 E-Mail A_Baron@ABaron.Demon.Co.UK September 18, 2001 Dear Mr Ali, I am writing to point out the true facts about the case of Satpal Ram, the convicted murderer you plead for on your front page at this most tragic of times. The notion that Winson Green is an open prison is news to me, but what is probably news to you is that Ram stabbed his victim, Clarke Pearce, in the back with a flick knife, an illegal weapon, in a drunken frenzy, then fled the scene of the crime. The claim that Pearce attacked Ram is a lie as are most of the other claims of Ram's cabal such as the one that the victim died because he refused medical treatment. Clarke Pearce was pronounced dead at 4.23am, about which time Ram was seeking treatment at another hospital for a small cut to his face which required three stitches, a cut that may have been self-inflicted such was the ferocity of his attack. He was so drunk that initially the doctor could not treat him. The documented facts about Ram, as opposed to the lies of the Free Satpal Campaign, can be found on the website "satpalramis- guilty". This website also contains the full transcript of the judgment in Ram's 1989 appeal, which I suggest you read before you publish anymore on this case. Point your web browser at http://www.geocities.com/satpalramisguilty/ram_coa_1.html I would suggest too that you publish a retraction in your next issue. Yours sincerely, A Baron
