[mobglob-discuss] Were you arrested in Seattle in 1999?

[Gordon Flett]

  From SchNEWS 453, Friday, May 14, 2004

  ** 155 people who were arrested at the World Trade Organisation protests in Seattle in 1999 (SchNEWS 240) could be entitled to a share of $250,000 for wrongful arrest. The police had photocopied the arrest warrants from one original which effectively said that one police officer had warned and arrested all 155 people! If you are one of these people contact Allison at hagens-berman.com. A second class action suit for people arrested inside the allegedly unconstitutional "no-protest zone" is still underway and awaiting the result of an appeal. WTOARREST at riseup.net. 

  ** "Why the great surprise over Abu Ghraib?" asks Jennifer Harbury, a human rights lawyer whose husband, was tortured for two years and then either dismembered or thrown from a helicopter by Guatemalan military officials who were receiving generous CIA payments. "This has been standard operating procedure for years." www.soaw.org/new
