Betreff: Protesters arrested outside UN as Bush speaks

Two Civil Disobedience Protesters Still in Jail! 14 Released

Call to demand the release of the two protesters!

As George W. Bush was laying down his diktats to the world in the UN
General Assembly, sixteen activists staged a non-violent civil
disobedience protest directly in front of the United Nations.

Stung by the fact that the protesters got through intense police
security and that they were calling out Bush as a war criminal, several
of the demonstrators were hit serious bogus charges:

Father Luis Barrios, from of St. Mary's Episcopal Church and a national
leader of World Can’t Wait, was charged with assaulting a police
officer. Fr. Barrios was actually knocked to the ground by police from
behind as he held up his hands saying “I am not resisting.”

Geoff Mallard, a disabled Iraq war vet, was charged with resisting
arrest when he fell down trying to board the police wagon.

Regime! web site:

We urge people to continue to call in to release the two protesters
still in.

To quote from New York One (the New York news channel):
... barricade outside the UN. The group was calling for the ouster of
President Bush for what they have deemed "crimes against humanity.". ...

From the statement of those who did civil disobedience at the UN to
stand against the Bush Regime:

"We have come to the United Nations today to engage in non-violent civil
disobedience. We demand the war on Iraq end immediately. We oppose any
attack on Iran. We declare to the world that President George W. Bush
has been found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. He does
not speak for us.

"These crimes must come to a halt. As the Not In Our Name Statement of
Conscience (Jan. 2005) said: 'It is our responsibility to stop the Bush
regime from carrying out this disastrous course. We believe history will
judge us sharply should we fail to act decisively.'"
