9/30/2005 Update: The individual for whom legal support was raising bail has been bailed out.
During the anti-war march in San Francisco on Saturday, September 24th, a man was arrested by police and he was released from SF Sheriff’s custody late Thursday night. He was held in solitary for five days, and was transferred to general population in the San Bruno jail.

The man attended the anti-war march with his wife and his sister from Clear Lake. He reportedly moved his sister out of the way of an officer on a bike, and an altercation ensued. He was beaten and arrested on a felony charge of possession of a deadly weapon, which was reportedly a knife that was on him at the time of the arrest. On Thursday, his bail was set at $12,500. The legal team asked for various kinds of support for him.

He was scheduled to go to court Friday morning September 30th at 9:00am in courtroom 9 at the San Francisco Courthouse, 850 Bryant Street. The legal team asked for people to fill the courtroom, pitch in for his legal fund, and otherwise show solidarity with someone who was isolated in jail and needs public support. The legal team said in a statement, "The demonstration is not over with someone still in jail!" Read more.
