It has now been one week since Patriotic Alternative Regional Organiser for Yorkshire, Sam Melia, was sentenced to two years in prison for his “intentions” behind publishing stickers online that the prosecution said were legal and truthful.
Now that the dust has settled and we have heard from Sam and know where he is, I thought I’d put together a list of things we can do to help Sam and to push back against his unjust conviction and sentencing.
Before I begin, I would like to inform people that we are pursuing legal avenues in relation to Sam’s conviction. I am in touch with Sam’s solicitor and barrister, plus other legal professionals, and we are looking into what options are available to us. I hope people understand that due to not wanting to share too much information with people who wish Sam harm, we are keeping our cards close to our chest until we have something more concrete to report back.
I’d also like to say thank you to everybody who has helped to raise awareness of Sam’s case. The international response to his conviction and sentencing has been something that we never expected and when I told Sam about it on the phone this week, he was made up!
Write a Letter to Sam
Sam advised me yesterday that apart from missing his family, the worst thing about being in prison is the boredom. Please consider writing him a letter to show him some support and also help him to pass the time.
Please send any letters to:
Samuel Melia
A3370FC
HMP Leeds
2 Gloucester Terrace
Stanningley Road
Leeds
West Yorkshire
LS12 2TJ
If you would like a letter in return, you will need to write your name and address on the back of the envelope. Sam can buy stamps from the canteen every Saturday. I asked the lady on reception if we could send him stamps and she said no he has to buy them himself, however you can include a stamped addressed envelope with the first letter this week.
Please note, if you get too political in your letter, they won’t let it through.
Email Sam
If you’d like to write an email to Sam, you can use this website to do so: https://www.emailaprisoner.com/
You have to add credit to your account. It cost me 68p to send him an email and pay for his reply back. They print your email off and hand it to Sam, and he gets a blank page to hand write a message back. They then scan his response and email it back to you. It took 24 hours for my message to get to Sam and 48 hours for Sam’s message to then get back to me, so it’s pretty fast!
Sam is in HMP Leeds and his prison number is A3370FC. Please remember to put Samuel Melia and not Sam as his name.
Send Books to Sam
If you would like to send a book to Sam, we have to send this directly from one of the prison’s preferred suppliers. Unfortunately we cannot send books (or anything else) directly to Sam. To send Sam a book, please add the book to your basket on one of the following websites:
- Blackwell’s
- Foyles
- Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights
- Waterstones
- WH Smith
- Wordery
- Housmans
- Incentive Plus
- Prisons Org UK
You’ll then need to write “Samuel Melia” and his prison number (A3370FC) as the recipient, and send it directly to HMP Leeds. As above, anything too political won’t get through.
This morning I sent Sam 10 books including 2 adult colouring books, 2 puzzle books, 2 history books, 2 journals and 2 fiction books. He enjoys anything outdoorsy (including camping and hiking) DIY, homesteading, exercising, climbing, comedy, graphic novels (he likes Batman), metal music, history, skateboarding, computer games and puzzles/quizzes.
Raise Awareness of Sam’s Case
Another way in which you can help is by raising awareness of Sam’s case. There are multiple benefits to doing this including showing the System that we won’t be silent while they attack our people simply for raising awareness about the terrible things that are happening to us. It also shines a light on their anti-White hypocrisy, helping to awaken other people to nationalism and bring people to our cause.
The response to Sam’s case has been unbelievable so far, with him receiving support from all over the world including from GBNews, Darren Grimes, Alex Jones, Red Ice, Edward Dutton, Steve Laws, Paul Joseph Watson, Count Dankula, Leo Kearse, Keith Woods, Morgoth, Millennial Woes, Tommy Robinson, Britain First, Warren Balogh, Eric Striker, Emily Youcis, Blair Cottrell, Thomas Sewell, Sascha Roßmüller, Adam Green, Way of the World, Joel Davis, James Goddard, Active Patriot, Lotus Eaters, Andreas Johansson, Lauren Southern, Nativist Concern, Tollah, Anne Marie Waters, History Debunked, Mike Enoch, UK Column, Counter-Currents, Pox Populi, Endeavour, UNN, Guardians of Aria, The Woodlander, Heritage and Destiny, Nathan Damigo, Hiraeth, Jody Kay, Horus, The Golden One, David Kurten, Brendan O’Neill at Spiked, Full Haus, No Chance, and even Elon Musk himself!
It’s important to note that not all of these people agree with Sam (or even like him or Patriotic Alternative) but they have taken a stand for his right – and as an extension our right – to freedom of speech, and they have highlighted the anti-White bias of the System. Coming down so hard on Sam for publishing legal stickers has united the “right” on an issue more than I’ve ever seen before in my time in nationalism.
Thanks to the huge public response to Sam’s case, more people have seen his stickers over the last week than they ever did over the two years that the Hundred Handers existed. It is also a massive kick in the teeth to the anti-White System that jailed Sam “as a deterrent” to others who have the same beliefs. The system certainly made an example out of Sam, but not in the way they intended.
We also have the hashtag #FreeSamMelia on Twitter/X.
See the massive amount of support Sam has received on PAtv.
Get Active
To follow on from my previous point of the sentencing being meant to act as a deterrent to other nationalists, getting active in an organisation is the best way you can ensure their failure here. They may have temporarily taken Sam out for a few months, but let’s step into his shoes until he’s back and let them see that this tactic of theirs won’t work on Sam or anybody else for that matter.
Get involved with Patriotic Alternative today.
Street Action
If you’re wondering whether there is going to be some sort of street action towards Sam’s sentencing, the answer is yes. Get involved with Patriotic Alternative to find out more.
Contact Your Local MP
If street activism isn’t for you then please consider contacting your local MP or political representative to share Sam’s story and ask them what they think. Even a negative response is positive because it highlights the fragility and anti-White bias of the System. If you get a response, feel free to share it with us at: enquiries@patrioticalternative.org.uk.
