Portland, OR: March 9th event about the San Francisco 8

KBOO Community Radio and Circle A Radio present an afternoon of
information about the San Francisco 8.

Murder Charges Against Former Black Panthers Based on Confessions
Extracted by Torture

On January 23rd, 2007, eight former Black Panthers were arrested on
charges related to the 1971 killing of a San Francisco police officer. The
original charges were thrown out after it was revealed that police used
torture to extract confessions. Now, over thirty-five years after the
initial charges were made, and with no new evidence, they are being
re-tried.

Hank Jones, one of the SF 8, will be in Portland to discuss the case. He
will be joined by Claude Marks and Maisha Quint of the Committee to Free
the Eight, as well as Kent Ford, the former leader of the Portland chapter
of the Black Panther Party. This free event will take place at 1pm on
March 9th at Liberty Hall, 311 N. Ivy.
