Below is a list of individuals who are in jail as a result of nonviolent resistance to war and injustice. The list is compiled by the folks at The Nuclear Resister magazine, an excellent prisoner solidarity tool which has existed since 1980, providing information on and jail support info. for people imprisoned, updates on ongoing campaigns, and reflections on life
behind bars.
The Resister is an ongoing chronicle of hope, and its recent issue documents over 7,500 arrests which have occurred since last fall in relation to the ongoing war against the people of Iraq, the details of people who continue to go to jail resisting the U.S. terrorist training School in Georgia, the story of three nuns facing five to eight years behind bars for an act of disarmament, and more.
Homes not Bombs urges you to write to these prisoners, and to support the Nuclear Resister with a subscription (get it now while the Canadian dollar is above 72 cents!!!!!). (More details on this below).
