![PFOC--Press Conference (Prairie Fire)](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
In response to the recent arrests of five revolutionaries in Houston and LA, the PFOC held a press conference in defense of their main captured member Clayton Van Lidograph. In the statement, the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee explains their main objectives of solidarity with oppressed women, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and exploited third world cultures. By any means of revolution, the PFOC will fight against the imperialist government. Just like the unfair legal charges put upon past radicals, their PFOC member and others were arrested and were being charged of terrorism and conspiracy. They explain that these charges are frame-ups and the true terrorists are the government, KKK, and other extreme right-wing organizations. In the media, the PFOC were originally grouped with the Weather Underground. However, this organization does not side with the Weather Underground and their politics. After the statement, reporters badger them with somewhat unanswerable questions.
![Emily Harris](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Political prisoner Emily Harris reads her statement involving her oppression in the California Institution for Women. In attempt to bring change, the only tool she has left is her own body. In result of the injustices, she went on a hunger strike. In recent history, the jail has conducted appalling medical practices on their female inmates. In result of a hunger strike horrendous medical practices were conducted on Emily Harris with no hesitation. On November 29, the doctors forcefully shoved a feeding tube down her throat. Recent studies have shown that that this could make a person choke to death or puncture the esophagus. The proper way is to feed intravenously. After this dreadful experience she was sent to court in a very sick condition. Eventually, the authorities noticed the actions and fed her intravenously. After this experience, she continued to struggle for basic human rights.
