Court Appearance For Jamison Sq./Shemanski Park Arrestees!

Courtesy: Willamette Week

Protesters arrested during the Oct. 2011′s attempted occupation of Jamison Square and Dec. 2011′s attempted relaunch occupation of Shemanski Park are facing their mandatory court appearances this day, thanks to the review by the Oregon Supreme Court this July.

WHEN: THU., Dec. 12th // 01:30 PM
WHERE: Multnomah County Courthouse, RM 311

The City has been arresting Occupiers on misdemeanors for charges that were truly violations, in order to vacate the park. The City attempted to lower the charges to violations in order to block a jury, but the courts decided to permit a jury because the arrestees faced the verdicts of jury trials and because the initial charges warranted it. Stand in support with their rights of free speech and trial by jury!  for details.
