Labor activists demand release of Muslim detainees
Special to Workers World
Brooklyn, N.Y.
A number of labor unionists under the umbrella of "Justice
For Detainees" picketed in front of the Metropolitan Detention
Center here Sept. 7. Their objective was to bring attention to
the illegal detention of hundreds of people, mainly of Arab and
South Asian descent, who are being held indefinitely and in
secret, imprisoned since the reactionary Patriot Act was signed
after the Sept. 11th attacks.
The 200 protesters chanted, "INS, FBI--No more suspects, no
more lies."
