During
the week of June 2, the family of Melvin
Davis and LiCurtis Davis filed a Writ of Habeas Corpus with the North
Carolina Supreme Court. The document states that both men have been unlawfully,
illegally and continually incarcerated since March 17, 2011. The charge of Contempt
of Court order demanded they tear down their homes and be charged with
trespassing on property that has
been in their family for generations.
Within
days after filing, the writ was
denied by the high court. The family believes that justice has
not been served and will continue to fight for the freedom of
Melvin and LiCurtis.
The
family’s first concern is for the health and safety of the Mr. Reels and Mr.
Davis who have not been outdoors since 2011. Their health has deteriorated while being
inhumanely detained in a jail designed for short-term incarnation with limited
medical treatment and exercise.
