__________________________________

The Green Scare is the federal government’s 2005-2007 sweep of arrests,
convictions, and grand jury indictments of environmental and animal
liberation activists and their supporters.

The San Francisco 8 are former Black Panthers who were arrested January
23, 2007, on charges related to the 1971 killing of a San Francisco police
officer. Similar charges were thrown out after it was revealed that police
used torture to extract confessions when some of these same men were
arrested in New Orleans in 1973.
