Will Lehman, a worker at Mack Trucks in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and rank-and-file candidate for president of the United Auto Workers, issued the following video statement demanding the immediate release of Bogdan Syrotiuk. On August 10, a court in Pervomaisk, Ukraine, sentenced Syrotiuk, a 27-year-old socialist and leader of the Young Guard of Bolshevik-Leninists (YGBL), to 15 years in prison for six antiwar articles published on the World Socialist Web Site. Sign the petition and send a letter to the court demanding his release at FreeBogdan.org and distribute Lehman’s statement as widely as possible.
