[Tamara Hansen]

REMINDER:

Vancouver Committee to Defend Freedom of Expression

Public Meeting
Wednesday, October 24
7pm
Joe’s Café (Large North Hall)
1150 Commercial Drive @ Napier Street

On Friday, August 31 over ten Transit Police and RCMP officers participated in the assault, handcuffing, and forced removal of three peaceful Fire This Time newspaper distributors from the Metrotown Skytrain station. All three were released without charges later that night and visited hospital emergency rooms with various injuries.

In response to this assault, the Vancouver Committee to Defend Freedom of Expression was formed and has grown into a diverse and active group organizing consistent activities in defence of civil liberties and democratic rights. Public support has been growing, and so has the Committee and its activities! Videos of the assault have now been viewed thousands of times on YouTube, and the campaign has new content and updates: http://www.stoppoliceassault.com

Tonight we will discuss important new legal and political developments in the case, and plan new actions in the growing campaign to defend Fire This Time and of all our civil liberties and democratic rights. Please join us in this important fight!
