Shawn Brant's Bail Review on Prisoner Justice Day
- Message from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory

(Tyendinaga MT): On Friday August 10th, lawyers Peter Rosenthal &
Howard Morton will be arguing a bail review for Mohawk activist Shawn
Brant.  Shawn was denied bail on July 5th on charges from the June
29th Aboriginal Day of Action relating to the closure of the CN main
line, a provincial highway and the 401.

August 10th is also Prisoner Justice Day.  The roots of Prisoner
Justice Day date back to August 10th, 1975, when inmates at Millhaven
Institution refused to eat or work in memory of another inmate who had
died in segregation the year before.  Since then it has spread nationally
and internationally as a day to acknowledge those who have died inside
prison walls and those who have fought for the very few basic human rights
that prisoners currently have.

On August 10th, we ask people to join us at Shawn's bail review in
Napanee, Ontario to support his bid for release and to acknowledge the
ongoing struggles of our sisters and brothers in institutions across
the country.
