DESCRIPTION: SF 8 PRELIMINARY HEARING STARTS MONDAY JUNE 8\n \n8 AM RALLY TO DROP THE 
 CHARGES\n9 AM COURT HEARING\n850 Bryant St. @ 7th., San Francisco\n\n \nThe 
 SF 8 are Black community elders and activists arrested in January 2007 on 
 charges related to the 1971 killing of a San Francisco police officer.  The 
 case against the SF8 is a frame up based on torture-induced "confessions" 
 and fabricated evidence. The same case was thrown out of court 30 years ago 
 but was revived after 9/11 with money from Homeland Security. \n\nAfter two 
 and a half long years, the preliminary hearing is finally starting on June 
 8 and is expected to last for three months. The hearing will determine 
 whether or not the SF8 will go to trial. \n \nIn an effort to bolster the 
 very weak case against the SF8, the San Francisco Chronicle just published 
 a sensationalistic article filled with racist innuendos and unsubstantiated 
 implications.  Without offering one shred of evidence, the article (John 
 Koopman, 5/24) implies that the murder of a young white woman in 1971 is 
 somehow linked to the SF8.  We must demand that the Chronicle and other 
 corporate media stop circulating such blatant 
 misinformation!\nhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/05/23/MNU217OU14.DTL\n\nWHAT
