Important Update from the Committee To Stop FBI Repression
Chicago - The Committee Against Political Repression in Chicago is joining the national day of action on Tuesday, October 5th, in response to last week's FBI raids on the homes of anti-war and international solidarity activists. The goal is to put an end to the Grand Jury process and the government's attack on anti-war activists across the country.
Supporters should look for breaking news on stopfbi.net as the legal developments may evolve rapidly.
On September 24, the FBI raided seven Chicago and Minneapolis homes of well-known anti-war and solidarity activists. The FBI subpoenaed 14 activists in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan to testify at a grand jury.
According to the FBI, the goal of the raids was to show material support for terrorism charges. It is outrageous! The US government is trying to put people in jail for anti-war and international solidarity activism. These people have done nothing wrong. They have given money to no one; their freedom is at stake.
