Lyons v. CIA http://www.amandla.org/cia/
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CIA BY VICTIMS OF CRACK
COCAINE EPIDEMIC.
[CIA Class Action Lawsuit Hotline: (510) 273 2474.]
On Monday, 15 March, 1999, two (2) class action lawsuits
were filed against the CIA and Department of Justice (DoJ)
on behalf of people who have been harmed by the importation
of tons of cocaine into California's metropolitan areas. The lawsuits are
based on a secret agreement between the CIA and
DoJ officials, which led to policies protecting, rather than stopping, drug
trafficking in crack cocaine.
Each lawsuit concerns two groups of people affected by the
crack epidemic: plaintiffs, largely African American, who experienced harms
on an individual basis (loved ones killed
in drive-by shootings, babies born addicted to crack); and plaintiffs who
experienced injuries suffered by the community
as a whole (emergency rooms inundated, business districts
gutted, schools becoming danger zones, etc.).
