STOP NATO: NO PASARAN! - HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.COM Notice how the fact that some 50 people got arrested at this action elicists no major outcry any more. When the same thing happened in BC in 1997 over the APEC conference and police used pepper spray the Canadian gov't was forced to convene an inquiry into the affair. In Windsor a lot more people were pepper sprayed and beaten, however by the standards of police brutality set in Seattle and Washington the events in Windsor are no longer NEWS WORTHY!!!! Can you imagine that in three short years democratic freedoms in North America have been erroded so quickly! Whoever posted that thing on the rise of fascism a few days ago should repost it, we all need to reflect on the words spoken...

By tonight, nine protesters in Windsor, Canada will have been moved to separate jails throughout South-Western Ontario. They are currently on hunger strike in order to maintain jail solidarity with one another and it is with the intent to break this solidarity that Corrections Canada has chosen to separate them. Although they have appeared before the court via video teleconference, the protesters have been denied consultation with their own legal counsel. One woman has reported sexual and physical abuse at the hands of authorities. They are being held over for bail for three days, an uncommon length of time given the severity of the charges. We are demanding that these political prisoners have access to proper process, to their lawyers, and that they not be separated from one another. These protesters are in desperate need of support.
