NCPCF Town Hall, 1/15/12
The National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF) held a town hall meeting on Sunday, 1/15/12 to raise awareness of "preemptive prosecutions," the growing practice of prosecuting Muslim Americans on vague and trumped up conspiracy or material support charges -- before a real crime has been committed. Family members and friends of some victims of this practice were on hand to tell their stories; civil rights advocates also demonstrated the do's and don'ts of handling a knock on the door by the FBI.
