About me:
ARWAR is a growing Arkansas based reform project focused on exploring human rights and civil liberty issues, and vocalizing
concern when instances of injustice arise. Attacks against our civil liberties occur regularly and in a variety of areas. Failures in our
criminal justice system, unjust legislation, corruption in leadership, and unequal treatment of entire segments of the population are
all areas that call for citizen involvement. There is a dire need for momentous change in our state. This change is dependent on the
efforts of each citizen. Be aware of injustice and react accordingly. Regardless of your age, race, gender, education level, or
socioeconomic status, you too can work to create a better society with more choices and less fear. --- “Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere. What affects one directly affects all of us indirectly.” --Martin Luther King Jr.
Our goal is to use this site as a vehicle in creating a citizen alliance. By connecting various individuals with common ideals, and
examining possible efforts and actions, we hope to perpetuate progress in reforming our state. ARWAR,org serves a network for
those who wish to protest injustice and unfairness on a grassroots level. Although Arkansas based, contributions to our efforts are
not limited to Arkansas residents and participation is nationwide. We hope to educate people with the facts on important issues and
open minds that have been closed far too long.
FACTOR 8 THE ARKANSAS PRISON BLOOD SCANDAL -
For more than two decades, the Arkansas prison system profited from selling blood plasma from inmates infected with viral hepatitis and AIDS.
Thousands of unwitting victims who received transfusions of a product called Factor 8 made from this blood died as a result.
Factor 8 (The Movie) is one person’s search for answers. I warn you, much of what you’ll see will shock you. Factor 8 upsets the apple-cart, and may challenge your world view, and your views about leadership, government, and human nature. I know it did for me. - Kelly Duda

Reviving an investigation that ended 14 years ago, West Memphis police recently questioned the mother and stepfather of Stevie Branch, one of three 8-year-old boys murdered in 1993. Three teenagers were convicted of the killings.
In a telephone interview on Monday, Stevie’s stepfather, Terry Hobbs, confirmed that West Memphis police had videotaped an interview with him within the last three weeks. Pam Hobbs, Stevie’s mother, also said she had been interviewed by police. The Hobbses are now divorced.
Terry Hobbs, who lives in Bartlett, Tenn., said police requested the interview with him as a result of recent DNA tests on items found with the bodies. Prior to the police interview, he said, he had been informed of the test results by Ron Lax, a Memphis private investigator.
Terry Hobbs said, “Ron claims that a piece of my hair is in the knots that tied up [victim] Michael Moore.”
“Does that bother me?” Hobbs continued. “No, ma’am, it does not. Why? Because I don’t believe a thing he has to say because he’s working for the defense team. And because if my DNA was at the crime scene, I think [Prosecuting Attorney] Brent Davis would be the one to call me about that, and not Ron Lax.”
Attorneys for the convicted men have said no DNA was found that matches their clients.
Terry Hobbs said police asked him “a bunch of questions” about his activities on May 5, 1993 — the day Stevie, Michael and Christopher Byers, the third victim, disappeared — and the following day, when the boys’ bodies were discovered submerged in a drainage ditch. He declined to answer further questions about what he was asked by police.
Pam Hobbs, who lives in Blytheville, said a lieutenant for the West Memphis Police Department also questioned her about her family’s activities around the time of the slayings. In the last couple of months, she has stated publicly that she now believes that the men convicted of the murders — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr . — are
