10 G8 Protesters Remain in Jail in Georgia

HeadlineJun 16, 2004

In Brunwsick Georgia, 10 people remain jailed nearly a week after they were arrested at protests near the Group of Eight Summit on Sea Island. The activists have refused to give their names or post bail in protest to the government’s crackdown on demonstrations during the summit. In a statement from jail the group — which is being called the Brunswick 10 — said “The injuries we have sustained this week while speaking out have done less damage to our bodies than the Governor’s casual militarization of civilian law enforcement has done to American democracy.”
