[Chino]

a homie sent this to me and i thought i should share this with everyone:


Free the Black Panther 8

For immediate release -- Please forward widely

On the occasion of a bail reduction hearing set in San Francisco for
four of the eight former Black Panthers recently indicted on
36-year-old charges based on police torture of some of the defendants
and of the key witness for the prosecution, there will be an
emergency support demonstration and press conference to demand
freedom for the BP8 and all political prisoners. It will take place
on Wednesday, February 14 at 5:00 PM outside the downtown Federal
Building on Los Angeles Street at Temple Street. Although the eight
former Blank Panther Party members are facing trial in San Francisco,
there has been clear federal involvement from the very beginning, in
1971, as part of the COINTELPRO attack on the Black liberation
movement. Therefore, members of the Panther Eight Unity Mission are
taking their public action at the Los Angeles Federal Building.
Although the Eight are charged with conspiracy to kill a police
officer, the real conspiracy was the COINTELPRO secret dirty war on
the Black freedom movement and other liberation struggles, in which
the FBI and local police forces killed, tortured, framed up, shot up
and otherwise waged chemical, psychological and other forms of
warfare on the Panthers. The new indictments are an attempt to lock
up people who withstood and exposed torture and remained steadfast in
their commitment to and love of their people. All people of
conscience are invited to attend the rally and press conference.
Endorsing groups include the Black Riders Liberation Party, the
Jericho Amnesty Coalition, the Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc, the Puerto
Rican Alliance, Asians for Jericho and Mumia and others that have
come together to support the Black Panther Eight and the Committee to
Defend Human Rights, their defense effort.

Also don't forget the LA premiere showing of "Legacy of Torture: The
War Against the Black Liberation Movement," a powerful new
documentary about the former Panthers base around their recent
incarceration as Grand Jury resisters and their torture back in 1971.
It takes place Saturday, February 14 from 4-7:00 PM at the Southern
California Library for Social Studies & Research, 6120 S. Vermont
between Slauson & Gage. The showing will benefit the eight and their
families.
