[CitizensTruth] Stand With G20 Protestetors

[Richard Fobes]

Folks,

The World Can't Wait has put together a letter to Homeland Security & Elected Officials & Law Enforcement in Pennsylvania.  

The letter demands:  

1)    Charges against people involved in political protest at the G-20 be dropped immediately.  

2)    A thorough investigation of methods employed by law enforcement, and directed by Homeland Security and Chief of Police, including the crowd control methods and mass arrests; the conditions of detention of those arrested; and any ongoing surveillance and interference with the rights of those accused, arrested, or involved in the protests are contrary to the expectation of the rights to freedom of speech and assembly.  Such investigations must include public hearings, and a real search for the truth in what happened.

3)     A public report, dissociating your city from those methods found to suppress speech and assembly, and guarantee to the people that they will not be used again.

4)    Rejection of the use of military involvement, or the use of federal agents in future protests.

Stand WITH the G20 Protesters, and consider signing on to the letter here:

Nathan Harper: Chief of Police, Pittsburgh  412-323-7800

Ed Rendell: Governor of Pennsylvania 717 787-2500


Tell them your thoughts about the actions and behaviors of the use of military force in Pittsburgh during the G20 meetings.
