In 2011, Ky Peterson was attacked and assaulted while walking home. He fought back, and as a result, his attacker suffered a fatal wound. Ky was given a 15 year prison sentence for defending himself against a rapist.
Ky has been incarcerated for the last 5 years, and for much of that time his partner, Pinky, has been supporting and documenting his fight for access to trans medical care and his freedom.
Recently, Ky was placed into a segregated cell and has been given no reason why, until now. ...
Ky is to be transported to a private facility where there will be a meeting / hearing held. To avoid media coverage, the time date and location of this event are being withheld until 24 hours prior. Only Pinky and Ky's family are permitted to attend. There has been talk of release, but we can't even begin to hope for such a blessing.
Documenting Ky's journey is imperative to his story and how the legal system targets and abuses trans victims of hate and assault. She NEEDS to attend this hearing and document its outcome, but it is such short notice that we have had no time to save up or prepare.
She desperately needs help with emergency expenses to cover travel and documenting this part of Ky's Journey.
For more information about Ky Peterson please check out his website and social media.
