FREE MARC campaign at Justice Minister Rob Nicholson's Office

The FREE MARC EMERY campaign attended Justice Minister Rob Nicholson's office in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on Thursday, June 10th. Head organizer Jacob Hunter was immediately assaulted and arrested by a Niagara Falls Policeman.

The FREE MARC campaign was at Conservative MP Rob Nicholson's constituency office to stage an "occupation" sit-in protest, similar to dozens that have taken place across Canada. The protests are a response to the extradition and imprisonment of Canadian activist, businessman, and BC Marijuana Party leader Marc Emery.

Marc Emery was extradited to the US for a 5-year federal prison sentence for selling seeds, even though he never left Canada. Vancouver police failed to have him charged here in 2003, then worked with US law enforcement to have
him charged down there in 2005. Rob Nichsolson signed the extradition order himself on May 10th, 2010, which is the reason he was targeted by the FREE MARC campaign.

The FREE MARC campaign leaders, Jodie Emery and Jacob Hunter, had done the same in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office in Calgary on May 19th. Arrests have been attempted by police at almost all occupation/sit-ins, but the Constitutional Right to protest, and the fact that MP offices are public space paid for by public tax dollars, allowed for every occupation to proceed. However, this one was violently stopped before it even began.

Jacob and Eric are required to appear in Niagara Falls court on August 5th for unjustified charges that should be thrown out. Conservative MP office occupations will continue. There is no reason for any protesters to be arrested. The aggressive officer should be punished.

The Justice Minister is a COWARD, afraid of the PUBLIC he is paid by. We are his BOSS. It's wrong to keep his public office doors locked.

SHAME ON THE JUSTICE MINISTER! Rob Nicholson is an arrogant coward!

I would be so pissed off if I owned a local business next door I would have voiced my right for them to move.

These people clearly have nothing else to do with their lives than to try and make this officer do something on camera that would make him look like the bad guy. Completely agitating....

[oxjhan9]

if you commit a so called crime dont forget that its not because some lawmakers say its a crime that it is a crime, biased stigmas beleifs and scornful opinions a lawmaker has does not mean hes right, cept he has a private army to take you down to enforce his intolerance, and cops blindly obey like benchemen robots, 97% of laws are to protect the monatary slavery status quo and goverments citizen extortion policies, not protect citizens. scornful stigmas and money are the cause of all crimes
