[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!
