Oakland: More Arrests, Court Support Requested

September 21, 2010 Oakland 100 Support Committee

We have received new info that as many as 14 of the roughly 70 people
cited and released for misdemeanors on July 8th, who were mostly rounded
up at random, are now having charges brought on them 10 weeks later. The
charges include remaining at the scene of a riot, unlawful assembly, and
rioting. Another 4 people were arrested last week on felony burglary
charges. The Oakland 100 Support Committee is reaching out to defendants
and their families to find out which defendants would like a show of
support and solidarity in the court room for their court proceedings.

WE ARE HEREBY CALLING ON THE GREATER COMMUNITY FOR JUSTICE FOR OSCAR GRANT
AND AGAINST POLICE VIOLENCE TO COME OUT AND STAND WITH THOSE FOLKS
DEFENDING THEMSELVES IN THIS CURRENT STAGE OF REPRESSION, SOME OF WHOM
FACE MORE JAIL TIME THAN THE COP WHO KILLED OSCAR GRANT IN THE FIRST
PLACE!
