The Hostos Grand Jury Resistance Campaign, a coalition formed in New<br>
York in response to the recent round of grand jury subpoenas, calls
on<br>
all freedom loving and progressive people to picket in front of the<br>
Brooklyn Federal Court on June 13, 2008 at 9:30 am to support Jose<br>
Diaz, the fifth person to be subpoenaed to the federal grand jury.<br>
He is the first resident from Puerto Rico called to appear to the<br>
grand jury investigating the Puerto Rican Independence Movement in<br>
Puerto Rico and in the Diaspora. He is forced to travel thousands of<br>
miles, leaving his family behind to come to Brooklyn, NY to fight<br>
this subpoena.<br><br>
As we prepare for this picket, Tania Frontera, one the original
three<br>
of the January 11 subpoenaed, has also been scheduled to appear on<br>
June 13, 2008.<br><br>
Historically, the US government has used the federal grand jury
since<br>
the 1930s as an instrument of political internment of Puerto Rican<br>
pro-independence activists. Those who refused to testify by<br>
exercising the established pro-independence political principle of<br>
"noncollaboration" to the grand jury can be held in
"contempt of<br>
court" and imprisoned.<br><br>
