Possible Emergency Court Hearing Tomorrow (Dec 20 Solidarity with Greek Uprising action)

Second legal update on the folks arrested during the Greek Uprising Solidarity Action on Dec. 20

*** Who's in, who's out ***

Justin E. was released on Monday, Dec. 21, and his charges were dismissed. Ernesto T. did not have a court appearance and he is still being held.

We were able to locate the person who was injured, thanks to all who helped us find him! His name is Terry G. and he has a very bad head injury from being kicked in the head (bad enough they had to hospitalize him the first night he was in). He is facing a felony charge as a result of his violent arrest, as well as the misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. His bail is $52,000. He is glad to know that there are people out there supporting him.


*** Possible emergency court support ***

No one is *scheduled* for tomorrow, but if they don't go to court tomorrow, they will have been held as long or longer than the limits in California allow. Our attorneys are looking into an emergency petition for their release, based on this delay. If this happens, we want everyone down to the courtroom tomorrow! We'll send out a new update if we get any more information about this, so check back late tonight and early tomorrow morning for more information.


*** Video or photo evidence ***

We said it before and we'll say it again: do you have video or photo coverage of the arrests or of police activity? If so, contact the legal team! We are going to want it. Our hotline number is 415-864-2430.


Let's keep the pressure on to get our people out!!
