Black Panther 8 rally also there same time

by FYI Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2007 at 8:30 AM

Emergency demonstration for Black Panther 8 Wednesday 2-14, 5 PM

For immediate release -- Please forward widely

What: Rally and Press Conference to Support
Freedom for the Black Panther Eight
When: Wednesday, February 14, 5:00 PM
Where: Downtown Los Angeles Federal Building, 300
N. Los Angeles Street at Temple
Who: Panther Eight Unity Mission, including
Black Riders Liberation Party, Jericho Amnesty Coalition Los Angeles

On the occasion of a bail reduction hearing set
in San Francisco for four of the eight former
Black Panthers recently indicted on 36-year-old
charges based on police torture of some of the
defendants and of the key witness for the
prosecution, there will be an emergency support
demonstration and press conference to demand
freedom for the BP8 and all political prisoners.

It will take place on Wednesday, February 14 at
5:00 PM outside the downtown Federal Building on
Los Angeles Street at Temple Street. Although the
eight former Blank Panther Party members,
including local Altadena residents Ray Boudreaux
and Hank Jones, are facing trial in San
Francisco, there has been clear federal
involvement from the very beginning, in 1971, as
part of the COINTELPRO attack on the Black
liberation movement. Therefore, members of the
Panther Eight Unity Mission are taking their
public action at the Los Angeles Federal Building.

Although the Eight are charged with conspiracy to
kill a police officer, the real conspiracy was
the COINTELPRO secret dirty war on the Black
freedom movement and other liberation struggles,
in which the FBI and local police forces killed,
tortured, framed up, shot up and otherwise waged
chemical, psychological and other forms of
warfare on the Panthers. The new indictments are
an attempt to lock up people who withstood and
exposed torture and remained steadfast in their
commitment to and love of their people. It is
also designed to intimidate supporters of new
Congressional hearings into COINTELPRO, and to
prevent the parole of two of the new defendants,
Jalil Muntaquin and Herman Bell, who have already
served more than 30 years in prison for their
involvement in the Black liberation movement.

All people of conscience are invited to attend
the rally and press conference. Endorsing groups
include the Black Riders Liberation Party, the
Jericho Amnesty Coalition, the Danza Mexica
Cuauhtemoc, the Puerto Rican Alliance, Asians for
Jericho and Mumia, Union del Barrio, Anti-Racist
Action, and others that have come together to
support the Black Panther Eight and the Committee
to Defend Human Rights, their defense effort.
Press statements from the community groups
involved, a fact sheet on the case, and contact
information for the prisoners will be available
at the rally and press conference.

Also don't forget the LA premiere showing of
"Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black
Liberation Movement," a powerful new documentary
about the former Panthers base around their
recent incarceration as Grand Jury resisters and
their torture back in 1971. It takes place
Saturday, February 14 from 4-7:00 PM at the
Southern California Library for Social Studies &
Research, 6120 S. Vermont between Slauson & Gage.
The showing will benefit the defense of the Eight, as well as their families.

PANTHER EIGHT UNITY MISSION

PARA DISTRIBUCION INMEDIATA

AVISO DE CONFERENCIA DE PRENSA Y PROTESTA

CUANDO: Miercoles, 14 de Febrero 2007

DONDE: En frente del Edificio Federal en Los Angeles.
300 N. Calle Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Calif.

HORA: 5:00 de la tarde

En la occasion de una audiencia para reducir la
cantidad de fianza programada para San Francisco,
el mismo dia, para cuatro de ocho antiguos
miembros de las Panteras Negras, recientemente
arrestados con cargos con 36 años de antiguedad
basados en tortura policiaca contra algunos de
los ausados y del testigo principal para la
prosecucion, se llevara a cabo una manifestacion
de emergencia y conferencia de prensa para exigir
la libertad de los 8 de las Panteras Negras y
todos los presos politicos en los EEUU.

Aunque los 8 de las Panteras Negras enfrentan
un juicio en San Franciso, es claro que ha habido
intervencion federal desde el inicio del caso en
1971, como parte un ataque contra el movimiento
de liberacion negra. Es por eso, que miembros de
la Mision Unida por los 8 Panteras estan
organizando esta accion enfrente del Edificio Federal en Los Angeles.

Aunque los Ocho estan acusados de una
conspiracion para asesinar a un oficial de la
policia, la verdadera conspiracion fue la guerra
sucia de COINTELPRO, contra el movimiento de
liberacion de la gente negra y otras luchas
libertarias, en la cual la FBI y las fuerzas de
la policia local asesinaron, torturaron,
balearon, y generalmente ejercieron una guerra
quimica y psicologica contra las Panteras Negras.

Estas acusaciones contra los 8 Panteras, es un
esfuerzo para encarcelar a gente que sobrevivio y
denuncio la tortura y manteniendose comprometidos y con amor por su pueblo.

Auspician: Black Riders Liberation Party,
the Jericho Amnesty Coalition, the Danza Mexica
Cuauhtemoc, la Alianza Puertorriquena, Asians
for Jericho and Mumia Union del barrio, Accion
Anti-Racista y otros grupos y individuos en apoyo
de los 8 Panteras negras y el Committee to
Defend Human Rights (Comite en Defensa de
Derechos Humanos), el comite defensor para los 8.

LIBERTAD PARA LOS 8 PANTERAS NEGRAS!

I second that....

poopstarr@yahoo.com

I think a lot of people want the groups involved in passing along the first email to at the very least send a second email in which something (I hope) is elaborated on.
Especially given the position of indymedia already...the site shouldn't just hold emails like this w/ unfounded information.
I know several people who since Monday have been searching high and low for more information.
Fear works both ways, people.
I am not suggesting that anyone made this up.
However, I would say we need to be responsible and thoughtful especially when many friends and family w/o papers are riding the metro.
