The Committee to Stop FBI Repression continues to denounce the FBI raids on activists in the Midwest on Sept. 24 and to demand an end to the grand jury witch-hunt. The warrants and subpoenas clearly violate people’s First Amendment rights to freedom of association — by demanding materials like address books and information regarding “recruitment and indoctrination” to anti-war, solidarity and other political organizations. This kind of sweeping investigation and grand jury witch-hunt is a dangerous precedent for all people of conscience.
Given the urgency due to reactivated grand jury subpoenas, the CSFR has asked all concerned people to call on their U.S. Representatives to immediately send letters to President Barrack Obama and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder condemning and/or expressing grave concern over FBI raids on peace and justice activists and the grand jury investigation.
