ALCP Candidate Arrested
Friday, 11 July 2008 02:00
Dunedin North candidate for the ALCP, Julian Crawford, was arrested yesterday following police brutality on Otago University Campus. Police were acting on a complaint from a member of the public concerned at the presence of Legalise Cannabis advocates at the popular Radio One Market Day. Mr Crawford was detained at length for showing solidarity with other arrestees, who included president of Otago Norml Abe Gray.
"We are political prisoners, we will not let our freedom of expression be violated on this issue. Our opponents are only heaping coals on our fire. They are concerned about children being exposed to cannabis users. They should be concerned about a generation growing up feeling alienation towards the authorities"
"Cannabis is the Organic Solution, Death to Prohibition!" says Mr Crawford.
