DESCRIPTION:On May 21st, JR Valrey has a 2 PM hearing at the Wiley W. Manuel 
 Courthouse, located at 661 Washington Street, Department 115, Oakland. 
 While photographing the January 7th Oscar Grant protest, Valrey had his 
 camera seized by the OPD and was subsequently booked with a bogus felony 
 arson charge. \n\nOn May 21st, JR Valrey, reporter for the San Francisco 
 BayView and Minister of Information for the Prisoners of Conscience 
 Committee, has a 2 PM hearing at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse, located at 
 661 Washington Street, Department 115, Oakland. The location is a short 
 walk from 12th Street BART. Time and date can be confirmed by calling the 
 criminal division clerk at 510.627.4702.\n\nJR’s case stems from his 
 participation in the January 7th Oscar Grant protest. While photographing 
 the demonstration, JR was arrested and accused of setting fire to a 
 trashcan; his camera was seized and has not been returned by the OPD.  
 \n\nJR apparently faces the charge of felony arson, a strike under 
 California’s “three strikes law” punishable by a prison sentence of 
 up to three years. Supporters are also urged to call the following 
 individuals and demand that the trumped-up charge be dropped:\n\n•	Mayor 
 Ron Dellums, (510) 238-3141\n•	District Attorney Tom Orloff, (510) 
 272-6222\n•	Congresswoman Barbara Lee, (510) 763-0370\n\n\n
