We hereby petition the government of the City of Orlando to request that the US attorney in the middle district of Florida drop the decade-old cyber-protest related charges against Christopher Doyon, AKA Commander X, in the interests of justice. The charges for the online protest in defense of the Orlando chapter of Food Not Bombs are ten years old, and nothing good can possibly come from reviving this controversy now by returning Commander X to the Orlando area for an expensive and possibly futile trial. The charges were put on Commander X due to his activism in defense of the homeless and the homeless advocacy group helping to feed them Food Not Bombs. Maintaining charges against X aids an agenda which further harms our unhoused brothers and sisters; and it surely does not serve the interests of the people of Orlando to revive the protests and international boycott of a decade ago issue that everyone considers settled.

We would again like to reiterate that the charges against activist Commander X are 10 years old, and during that time X has aged and is not in the best of health. It would not only go against the interests of the people of Orlando to jail X, but it would also likely violate his human rights to be further subject to the carceral system as an aging man.
