<b>HELP STOP A LEGAL LYNCHING!<br>

WHAT: Rally to protest the unjust verdicts and
sentencing in the Chattanooga 3 case<Br><br>
WHERE: At the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department (adjacent to the City-County Courts Building), 601 Market Street, downtown Chattanooga<br><br>WHEN: 12 noon-2 p.m., Saturday, February 24, 2001<br><bR>THE CHATTANOOGA 3: Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, Damon McGee and Mikail Musa Muhammad (Ralph P. Mitchell). These three Black activists were arrested at a Chattanooga City Council meeting on May 19, 1998, after they protested the killings of two Black men a few weeks previous. Even after making prior arrangements, they
were taken off the speakers' list and not allowed to
speak. When they demanded their right to speak, they were carted off to jail. They were deprived of a fair trial on January 9-11, 2001, and now face 6-18 months in prison. Their arrests and trial were a travesty of justice, designed to silence protest in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

BRINGING EVEN MORE FRAMEUP CHARGES!
