<b>Background:</b> Fitzgerald ordered FBI raids on anti-war and
solidarity activists' homes and subpoenaed fourteen activists in Chicago,
Minneapolis, and Michigan on September 24, 2010. All 14 refused to speak
before the Grand Jury in October. Then, 9 more Palestine solidarity
activists, most Arab-Americans, were subpoenaed to appear at the Grand
Jury on January 25, 2011, launching renewed protests. There are now 23
who assert their right to not participate in Fitzgerald’s
witch-hunt.<br>
<br>
The Grand Jury is a secret and closed inquisition, with no judge, and no
press. The U.S. Attorney controls the entire proceedings and hand picks
the jurors, and the solidarity activists are not allowed a lawyer. Even
the date when the Grand Jury ends is a secret.<br>
<br>
<b><i>So please make these calls to those in charge of the repression
aimed against anti-war leaders and the growing Palestine solidarity
movement.<br>
