La Paz – As a Bolivian court today has once again postponed a bail hearing by lawyers for Jacob Ostreicher, officials at the United States Embassy have expressed their concern about the health of the jailed Brooklyn businessman.

According to reports on the South American news site Terra, Ostreicher has spent the last twelve days in a Santa Cruz clinic and has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
“What concerns us is that, despite the fact that no evidence has been shown linking Jacob Ostreicher with any crime, he has been detained for eighteen months and it is taking a toll on his health,” said Larry Memmott, Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Brazil.
The bail hearing, which was supposed to be held today based on newly uncovered evidence, was postponed until Friday by the Ministry of Government. Ostreicher’s lawyer, Yimy Montano, has made over twenty unsuccessful attempts to have his client freed on bail.
Made in Bolivia, coming to the USA soon.
Besides the Bolivian Government’s wickedness, they are harming their own economy.
What sane person would want to invest or do business in that country after poor Mr. Ostreicher’s experience.
“…And may the evil government be speedily uprooted…”
This is so sad. Is there anything we can we do to help???? The one person that does not deserve to be locked up, yet he’s locked up in one of the worst places in the world.
