Catherine Bollyn started a petition on January 10 on the White House website asking for a presidential pardon for her father. Only 150 signatures are needed for her petition to be posted on the Open Petitions board at "We The People". That is the short-term goal.
Then the petition will need to have 25,000 signatures, by February 9, in order to get a presidential response.
Please sign Catherine's petition to get a pardon for Christopher Bollyn at:

The text of Catherine's petition reads:
We petition the Obama Administration to:
Pardon My Father, Christopher Bollyn
I witnessed my father being brutally attacked by undercover police at my home on 8/15/06. He had called 911 to report a suspicious vehicle with three men wearing body armor prowling near our house. These men then showed up and my mother and I faced them on our driveway. My dad ran out asking who they were. The men wore no uniforms and refused to identify themselves. When my dad turned to get my uncle, the men tackled him and pinned him to the ground. One knelt on his head while the other handcuffed and TASERed him. Suddenly many police cars appeared and he was taken away. He was falsely charged with assault and resisting arrest. He pled innocent in court. The police videos were destroyed and he was found guilty. We have now lived 5 years in exile. I want to go home. Please pardon my dad.
