Jeremy Hammond, former member of the hacking network Anonymous, revealed more than 5 million emails from the private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor), which revealed that Stratfor had been spying on human rights activists at the behest of corporations and governments. Despite supporters lodging nearly 265 letters calling for leniency, Judge Loretta Preska sentenced Jeremy to the maximum allowed under his plea agreement: 10 years. Since March 2012, Jeremy has been cut off from his friends and family, and punished with extensive stays in solitary confinement — treatment normally reserved for the most egregious offences. Jeremy’s defence fund is run by the Courage Foundation. You can help Jeremy: https://fundrazr/campaigns/0raJ7/ab/612qh0
