SF 8 CASE FINALLY OVER
Date of Alert:
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
It is with great happiness that we can finally say the case against the San Francisco 8 is over and all remaining charges against Francisco Torres have been dropped! This has been a long battle (almost 5 years) for the brothers, their families & friends, and community members who all fought endlessly against this racist 38 year old case. And we know that our brother and comrade Javad Jahi, a key organizer with the Committee to Support the SF8 who passed almost two years ago, is celebrating with us. To celebrate this win is to also celebrate his life and the compassion and dedication with which he led it. Cisco Torres, speaking for himself and on behalf of the SF8, was elated, giving "Our thanks to all of our supporters for battling with us for so long - our victory is shared!
