The group of G20 arrestees - Montreal...

Mission

• Re-Unite the people arrested during G20 summit in Toronto in 2010.
• Give visibility and a right to speak for the arrestees.
• Mediate and denounce the arrests, police repression and detention conditions that occurred at G20.
• Encourage the creation of coalitions to support the arrestees.
• Mobilize any necessary resources for legal and political support of the arrestees.

The way the group operates:

There will not be permanent spokespersons, only chosen delegates. We seek the inclusion of every arrestee for decision-making, and all decisions are to be taken by the arrestees during assemblies, where a consensus will be drawn.

Basic Principles :

1. Respect for political heterogeneity of the arrestees.
2. The collective is independent and not partisan.

Our claims :

1. That every G20 related charges be dropped.
2. For the contestation of special laws and rules used during G20.
3. For the denunciation of the systematic police repression that occurred during G20.
4. For the defence of liberty of expression and dissent.
5. For the reaffirmation of the constitutional rights that have been flouted during G20.
6. For a public and independent inquiry about G20 events.
7. For a reparation for all police actions during G20, including arbitrary arrests and inhuman detention conditions.
8. For immutability for the persons responsible in the violation of the rights of the arrestees.

Adopted on the 11th of august 2010
