DESCRIPTION:Protest Harassment of Peace Activists by Federal Agents\n\nConcerned South 
 Bay residents to rally against FBI visits and intimidation of local civil 
 rights activist\n\nBACKGROUND: On the morning of Sept. 24, FBI agents armed 
 with Grand Jury subpoenas raided the homes of several antiwar and social 
 justice activists in Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan. Using the pretext 
 of investigating “terrorism,” and with “possibly providing material 
 aid to terrorists,” the FBI agents seized computers, cell phones, 
 political leaflets and other printed materials.\n\nAn FBI agent also paid a 
 visit to a local San Jose activist, Masao Suzuki, who – like the Midwest 
 targets of the raids – is active in the union at the community college 
 where he teaches.  He has also been outspoken in his defense of the 
 constitutional rights that were discarded when over 100,000 Japanese 
 Americans were herded into concentration camps in 1942.\n\nAccording to Mr. 
 Suzuki, “The government seems to be trying to criminalize the political 
 view of these activists, who have spoken out in solidarity with people who 
 have suffered the loss of their lands and their rights under U.S. backed 
 governments in Palestine and Colombia.”\n\nThe activists were ordered to 
 appear on October 5th before a Grand Jury in Chicago investigating possible 
 criminal activity and potential association with alleged “terrorist” 
 organizations.\n\nThe protest is being called to demand that the FBI, the 
 Grand Jury, and Federal agencies stop targeting people just because they 
 challenge government priorities for war and occupation instead of social 
 justice.\n\nRally organized by the San Jose Peace & Justice Center and the 
 National Lawyers Guild\n\n
