Preliminary Hearing for the Dallas 6 on Friday

The Dallas 6 have their rescheduled preliminary hearing this Friday in Luzerne
County, PA.

6 prisoners in the solitary confinement unit at SCI Dallas staged a peaceful protest
by covering their cell windows this past April, and they were punched, kicked,
pepper-sprayed, tasered, stripped naked and left in restraints for hours as a
result.

HRC exposed this atrocity in the report Resistance and Retaliation. Criminal
complaints fied against guards were rejected by the DA of Luzerne County on false
pretexts.

HRC also exposed this incident and others in front of the Pennsylvania House
Judiciary Committee in August.

The DA brought charges against the 6 men for "Riot" following the exposure.
