For Karina Hansen

Karina

Karina Hansen, twenty four, innocent of crime,
suffering an illness, a mysterious disease.
Taken from her home and imprisoned for some time:
almost six months now. Can you tell me please
why this outrage happens, for she is not alone,
others also suffer this inhuman attitude.
For she is not in hospital, that I could condone,
if she was being cared for in a place of quietude.

But no, it's psychiatric, or so her doctors say,
they try to force her into an exercise regime
which will, we know, exacerbate her illness day by day
and leave her even worse; it's enough to make you scream! 
No visits from her family, those are not allowed.
This medieval attitude is so hard to believe.
So if you can please give support, shout it long and loud,
Give Karina what she needs, give her a reprieve!

And a song:

Karina, Karina, how can they sanction this wrong?
Karina, Karina, let's get you home where you belong.

For months she has languished, hurt and abused,
tortured by those in control,
wrongly imprisoned, falsely accused,
held with no hope of parole.

Karina, Karina, how can they sanction this wrong?
Karina, Karina, let's get you home where you belong.

Many are fighting, for justice and truth,
hoping that someone will hear
We want her out while she still has her youth,
Someday we'll win, have no fear.

Karina, Karina, how can they sanction this wrong?
Karina, Karina, let's get you home where you belong.
