The Stop FBI and Grand Jury Political Repression West Coast Tour with Hatem Abudayyeh
Committee to Stop FBI Repression Hatem Abudayyeh, one of the anti-war and Palestine support activists who was subpoenaed to a federal grand jury, and whose home was raided by the FBI on September 24th, 2010, will be traveling up and down the West Coast to talk about his personal experience with this attack on free speech, free assembly, and civil liberties. He will also be discussing the history of political repression against the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities in this country, the political significance of this specific investigation, and the incredibly broad and diverse support that the 23 subpoenaed activists have gotten from across the U.S. and the world. "There is nothing criminal about anything that any of us has done or said," exclaims Abudayyeh. "We have every right to challenge our U.S. government's policy in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and everywhere else where it is responsible for so much war, occupation, and oppression. I'm very excited to have this opportunity to meet West Coast activists and organizers who have been so strong and supportive of us these past four months."
