Targeted Individuals Subpoenas, Searches and FBI visits in cities across country

Consistent with other military dictatorships' manoeuvres, on Friday, September 24, the FBI conducted raids in communities across the nation on American human rights defenders who are against war and terrorism. The FBI raided their homes sending a loud and clear message: Either support America's war crimes and state-sponsored terrorism such as murdering children and innocent women and men in US led illegal and immoral wars - or be subjected to the life of a Targeted Individual including possible false imprisonment or even untimely death.

In COINTELPRO signature style, the FBI began turning over six houses in Chicago and Minneapolis Friday morning at 8:00 am central time. It handed subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury to about a dozen activists in Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan. It attempted to intimidate activists in California and North Carolina.

These actions are typical of rogue, fascist dictatorships.

The same tactics were used by the US counter-intelligence operatives of OINTELPRO in the Vietnam War/Civil Rights era when they targeted with lies, discrediting, framings and even covertly assassinated some innocent, peace-loving Americans with charisma.

"The government hopes to use a grand jury to frame up activists. The goal of these raids is to harass and try to intimidate the movement against U.S. wars and occupations, and those who oppose U.S. support for repressive regimes," said Colombia solidarity activist Tom Burke, one of those handed a subpoena by the FBI.

"They are designed to suppress dissent and free speech, to divide the peace movement, and to pave the way for more U.S. military intervention in the Middle East and Latin America."

This suppression of democratic rights is aimed towards those who dedicate much of their time and energy to supporting the struggles of the Palestinian and Colombian peoples against U.S. funded occupation and war. The activists are involved with well-known anti-war groups including many of the leaders of the huge protest against the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN in September 2008.

The FBI agents emphasized that the grand jury was going to investigate the activists for possible terrorism charges according to IAC.

"This is a U.S. government attempt to silence those who support resistance to oppression in the Middle East and Latin America."

Activists targeted Friday have done nothing wrong and are standing firm in refusing to be pulled into conversations with the FBI about their political views or organizing against war and occupation.

The targeted individuals are involved with many groups, including:

Palestine Solidarity Group,

Students for a Democratic Society,

Twin-Cities Anti-War Committee,

Colombia Action Network,

Freedom Road Socialist Organization,

National Committee to Free Ricardo Palmera (a Colombian Political Prisoner).

Steff Yorek, a long-time antiwar activist and one of the activists whose homes was searched, called the raids “An outrageous fishing expedition.”

"We urge all progressive activists to show solidarity with those individuals targeted by the U.S. Government. Activists have the right not to speak with the FBI and are encouraged to politely refuse, just say 'No.'"

The International Action Center condemns the FBI raids and supports the right of all social justice activists to defend the rights of workers at home and to be in solidarity with human rights defenders around the world resisting occupation and military dictatorship.

The IAC urges full support of the activists targeted by the FBI and wide distribution
