Paul Quick will be on trial this week in Kingston for participating in a peaceful demonstration against the racist war in Iraq, imperialism and corporate profiteering, last March 22.
The Kingston anti-war marches were spontaneous and creative and left the local authorities flat footed. Millions of people around the world demonstrated against the war before it even started, and Kingston was no exception. 400 local marchers evaded police during marches against the imminent invasion of Iraq.
Mr. Quick was targeted by the police not because of his actions that day, but because he is a clear voice of dissent. Aggression for profit, murder for money and blood for oil cannot be tolerated. Were the war to be stopped, it was to be done by the people of the planet, not their elected officials. Paul was one of millions of people around the world standing for freedom and justice in the period leading up to the war. We must continue our work against war and imperialism and we must defend our fellow organizers against state reaction.
Paul Quick's charges should be dropped immediately.
Please contact the Crown Attorney's office (today!) and tell them to drop all charges against Mr. Quick.
