To Friends and Supporters of Lori Berenson

                                                       Update on Lori's Health

Lori is in her 8th month of pregnancy and very excited and busy 
preparing for the birth.  Unfortunately the pregnancy has exacerbated 
her back pain and she expects to have back surgery as soon as 
appropriate after the baby is born.

                                                     REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE HELP
                               Call President Obama and Write to 
Secretary of State Clinton

Now that President Obama has settled into office, it is time for us 
to put a concerted effort into enlisting his help in securing Lori's release.

Lori has now served 13 years and 5 months of her 20-year 
sentence.  She has been a model prisoner and she is eligible for 
conditional liberty in November 2010.  However, given the precarious 
nature of her health and the forthcoming birth of her baby, we will 
be urging President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to secure 
Lori's immediate release.

                                                       ACTION DESIRED

1-Please call the White House "hotline operator" 
(202-456-1111).  Tell the "hotline" operator that you would like 
President Obama to secure the release of Lori Berenson who has been 
wrongfully imprisoned in Peru for more than 13 years and whose health 
is precarious.

2-Please write to Secretary of State Clinton.  For your convenience a 
letter for you to print and sign appears on the recently updated 
www.freelori.org website. The direct link is 
http://www.freelori.org/sampleletters/statedept/index.html
Send your letter to:
The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
US Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, DC 20510

Thank you for your continued support.

Mark and Rhoda B.
