Press Releases R2K LEGAL COLLECTIVE MEDIA ADVISORY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 8, 2000 CONTACT: Mac Scott (646) 489-4375, R2K Legal (215) 925-6791 http://www.r2klegal.org PROTESTORS FROM THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION GO TO TRIAL The Battle Continues WHAT: Press Conference WHERE: Criminal Justice Center, Corner of 13th Street and Filbert WHEN: Wednesday November 8, 2000 at 4:00pm WHO: Lawyer from the Public Defenders Office, Defendant and Community Organizers (Philadelphia, PA) Today we mark the beginning of the mass trials of over 200 protestors arrested at the Republican National Convention. At the Convention, protesters voiced their disappointment that both political parties were not addressing issues surrounding the United States Criminal INjustice system. Two months after the Convention and right after the elections, our politicians continue to ignore the protestors' voices. Undeterred and arrested on trumped-up and phony charges, protestors and their lawyers will continue to highlight the inequalities of the American Criminal INjustice System even if our politicians continue to ignore them. During the Republican National Convention, thousands of people took to the streets demanding: FREEDOM FOR MUMIA ABU-JAMAL AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERSAs protesters head to trial, they reissue these demands and reaffirm their commitment to protest until our voices are heard. They stand in solidarity with all people that have been brutalized, exploited and criminalized by the Criminal INjustice system and forgotten by the politicians. --030-- |
