Profile
-
My name is Yuri Kadamov. The Americanized spelling, under which I am imprisoned, is Jurijus Kadamovas. I am a Lithuanian born Russian. I am unjustly under a Federal death sentence. I am the only citizen of any European Union nation to be on US Federal Death Row.
I have no family or friends in the United States. I am a musician (drummer), but since my incarceration, have turned my artistic interests to drawing and painting. I have a website to display my artwork, demos of my songs, as well as my philosophy. www.yurikadamov.com
One idea is "Art Against Death." This project opposes the death penalty, but also killing for any unjust reason, whether political or religious, for revenge or monetary gain. Such murders are traumatizing to all involved. Such killing must end, especially when done under the guise of legality. No country can take a morally superior stance about war and genocide while it continues hyprocrisy. In order for the US to be the champion of Democracy and human rights it wishes to be, it must abolish the Death Penalty.
"Art Against Death" could be the largest unified artistic effort ever to advocate the basic value of any Democratic society: the right to life itself.
I invite everyone who would like to be a part of this project, to join in the effort. I am seeking individuals and organizations willing to contact and organize people in support of "AAD." We need their signatures to be added to the top of the works of art which I and other artists will prepare. For more information about "AAD", check out the link on my website.
I am interested in collaboration with other artists and musicians, as well as professional artistic representation. I have completed over 400 pieces, thirty of which are intended for collaboration with other artists.
After 8 1/2 years of being able to write no one but my lawyers, my Embassy and my family, the federal bureau of prisons in September 2011, lifted all written communications restrictions. I am relieved that I can communicate with the outside world.
