Free Marc Emery
Canadian activist and cannabis seed producer Marc Emery was detained 29 July by his own government upon the request of the US Drugs Enforcement Administration (DEA). He now runs the risk of being extradited to the USA where he can get lifetime or even the death penalty for selling cannabis seeds to US citizens over the Internet. Producing and selling cannabis seeds is not a crime in Canada, but apparently, the US drugs war machine overrules Canadian souvereignty.
It is important that Europeans re-act on this dangerous escalation. If the US succeeds in imposing its will on Canada, Europe could be next. Therefore, we invite all European citizens who want an end to the war on drugs to join the protest.
From Saturday, September 10 to Friday September 16, people allover the world are holding protests at their local Canadian Embassy or Consulate appealing to the Canadian government not to capitulate to the U.S. demand that they extradite Marc Emery to the U.S. for actions that are not even crimes under Canadian Law. If you want to join such a protest, please contact encod@glo.be for more information. For the address of the nearest Canadian Embassy, see http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/world/embassies/menu-en.asp
So far protest will be orgnized in Brussels, London, Paris, Rome, Oslo, Prague, Warsaw.
You can also send a short message to Canada's Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler (or ask your Member of Parliament to do so). The address is: webadmin@justice.gc.ca.
Fax: 613-954-0811
Snail mail: The Honourable Irwin Cotler
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
284 Wellington Street
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H8

So where do Americans go to join the protests and tell Canada to not capitulate?  I could probably take the subway into DC and stop by their Embassy to say "high!" I suppose.
