[free-sklyarov] ANNOUNCEMENT: Free Dmitry Demonstration Monday 11:30am at SF Civic Center!

[Nick Moffitt]

Update:

	The following announcement forgot to mention the location
inside the Plaza:

	We will meet near the intersection of Fulton and Larkin, near
the huge obelisk and Statue commemorating the birth of the United
Nations.  Simply step out of the Civic Center BART/Muni Metro station
using the escalator labeled "UN Plaza" and walk through the park to
the statue.  City hall will be across the courtyard in front of you,
and the library will be to your left.  Walk along until you hit Larkin
St.

	See you all there!

Nick Moffitt quotation:
> With Adobe's show of good faith regarding Dmitry Sklyarov's
> persecution by the FBI and DOJ, we can declare last Monday's
> demonstration a success!
> 
> But it is a limited success, in that Dmitry Sklyarov still sits in a
> federal holding cell in Las Vegas, awaiting the US Marshals to haul
> him away in chains to California.
> 
> We can not simply let this happen!  We cannot sit idly by and say to
> ourselves "Oh, I freed Dmitry last week!  Why should I do it again?"
> The simple fact is that Dmitry is not free, despite the fact that NO
> ONE WANTS HIM IN JAIL!
> 
> Adobe doesn't want him in jail!  The general academic community
> doesn't want him in jail!  The Electronic Publisher's Consortium
> doesn't want him in jail!  The Free Software community doesn't want
> him in jail!  Librarians don't want him in jail!  Dmitry's wife and
> two children certainly do NOT want him in jail!
> 
> LET IT BE KNOWN that we will bang on the doors of the towers of
> justice and demand in the loudest voice we have that they...

> - Go to the signmaking party this Sunday.  Check these mailing lists
>   for the announcement, or mail vadim at xcf.berkeley.edu for details.

> - Make your own sign if you can't go to the party.  Be sure that it is
>   civil, and does not mention adobe.  The key message that we want to
>   hammer in is "FREE DMITRY", so make sure it says those two words
>   *somewhere* on it.  If you can't make a sign, just being there is
>   good for the cause! 
> 
> - Call up the press and send them this announcement.  Many of them
>   missed the event in San Jose, and now's their chance to cover the
>   FREE DMITRY movement!
> 
> - Show up at San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza, Monday the 30th of
>   June at 11:30am PDT. The site is accessible from BART, MUNI Metro,
>   and any number of MUNI buses.  It's the green square marked "City
>   Hall Plaza" on the following map:

>   You can spot us because we'll be the ones with the signs and the
>   shirts that say "FREE DMITRY" on them.
> 
> - Be ready to CALL THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA ON THE CARPET!
>   Be prepared to GIVE THEM A PIECE OF YOUR MIND!  Tell these folks to
>   DROP THE CASE because the DMCA is an UNJUST LAW!  DEMAND that they
>   return this man to his family PRONTO!
> 
> Last Monday's events saw HUNDREDS of demonstrators crying for justice.
> The fact that this was achieved with little to no preparation speaks
> to the power and widespread respect for the Free Dmitry movement.  We
> now have four days in which to prepare for this demonstration, so it
> will be spectacular!
> 
> So join us now and FREE DMITRY!
