Protest FBI Repression! Support Carlos Montes!

Washington Avenue, Minneapolis.

On May 17th, the L.A. Sheriff's SWAT team and the FBI stormed the home of
veteran Chicano activist Carlos Montes. He was arrested on trumped-up
charges and questioned about his political affiliations. Montes joins the
list of 23 anti-war and international solidarity activists that are facing
a Grand Jury investigation and FBI harassment because of their political
beliefs. Join a national protest of this federal repression on June 16th,
Montes' court date. Stand in solidarity with Carlos Montes and the other
23 activists facing FBI harassment and a Grand Jury witch hunt! Organized
by: the Minnesota Committee to Stop FBI Repression and the Minnesota
Immigrants Rights Action Committee (MIRAC). FFI: Visit
