And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (S.I.S.I.S.) writes: :-:-:S.I.S.I.S. Settlers In Support of Indigenous Sovereignty:-:-: Jan. 27, 1999 No Copyright; Please Circulate Widely DEMONSTRATION OF SUPPORT FOR GUSTAFSEN ELDER WOLVERINE SABOTAGED A demonstration of support for Shuswap elder and Gustafsen political prisoner Wolverine has been sabotaged at the last minute by an alternative plan for releasing the 67 year old elder, which will see him transported to Kamloops BC instead of releasing him from the Elbow Lake Institution, near Mission BC, where he is being held, as was originally planned. A major demonstration of support and "welcome back" was planned to coincide with his parole and release outside the Elbow Lake facility. "Very obviously, they didn't want the major show of solidarity and possibly widespread media coverage to highlight the call for a public inquiry and reveal the extent of public support for Wolverine, said Free the Wolverine Spokesperson Splitting-the-Sky. Elder Bill Lightbown of the Ts'peten Defence Committee criticized the last minute change which has already disrupted travel plans of many who had intended to be present for the Elbow Lake release. "The good news is that this political prisoner will still be freed. The bad news is, not where and when we planned to celebrate this. They have frustrated our process by releasing him in Kamloops instead." Wolverine is expected to be transported Thursday morning to the interior city of Kamloops BC and there released into the custody of the Kamloops Parole area office, before returning to his home on the Adams Lake Shuswap Reserve. A considerably smaller gathering is being hastily organized to meet Wolverine's arrival in Kamloops thursday at the Kamloops Parole office at 590, 175 Second Avenue.
