Seeking first-person or eye-witness accounts of Twin Cities torture for article tonight.

As part of Firedoglake's ongoing coverage of the repression, torture, and State violence at the RNC, I'm writing another piece this evening describing the official violence in the Twin Cities this last week. Wednesday night I described what Jason and Elliot endured (see "Ramsey County's Contempt For Justice: Tell Them To Stop The Torture" at PDX or Twin Cities Indy, or at FDL). This evening I hope to further educate our readers (and the broader public) with additional first-person and/or eye-witness accounts, placed in the larger context of intensifying official violence against political speech, public assembly, community solidarity, and mutual assistance.

I'll be grateful for any reports folks wish to pass on to kmurphy [at] riseup [net] as well as to kirkmurphy [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks for standing up for freedom in the Twin Cities.

Be well,

Kirk
