Protest Against Parole
Send letters, emails, or faxes protesting the parole of Bakari Ahmad Armstrong

Background
Harris County - On August 12, 1993, Bakari Ahmad Armstrong kidnapped a sixteen year old girl at knife point, along with her younger male cousin. The victims were taken from the mall and forced to drive to a park in the woods. The sixteen year old victim begged Armstrong not to hurt the little boy. Armstrong allowed the young child to stay inside the vehicle, while he viscously raped and committed unmentionable atrocities against the girl. After completing his heinous acts, Armstrong returned the victims to the mall, then fled. Later two other girls came forward, both having been abducted by Armstrong from the same mall and with small children. Armstrong was convicted and given a life sentence for one count of Aggravated Kidnapping and 2 counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault. Justice demands that Armstrong be made to spend every day of his life sentence prison. Please help us keep him there.

Dear Board Members:

RE: Bakari Ahmad Armstrong TDCJ-ID# 00717565

As a concerned citizen, I am writing to ask that you DO NOT grant parole to Bakari Ahmad Armstrong. On August 12, 1993, Bakari Ahmad Armstrong kidnapped a sixteen year old girl at knife point, along with her younger male cousin. The victims were taken from the mall and forced to drive to a park in the woods. The sixteen year old victim begged Armstrong not to hurt the little boy. Armstrong allowed the young child to stay inside the vehicle, while he viscously raped and committed unmentionable atrocities against the girl. After completing his heinous acts, Armstrong returned the victims to the mall, then fled. Later two other girls came forward, both having been abducted by Armstrong from the same mall and with small children. Armstrong was convicted and given a life sentence for one count of Aggravated Kidnapping and 2 counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault. Justice demands that Armstrong be made to spend every day of his life sentence prison.

Please DO NOT grant parole to Bakari Ahmad Armstrong. To lessen the emotional trauma the parole review process has on the victims, please grant a five year or greater set-off for future parole reviews.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
