Prisoner Support and Solidarity

Post news about individual incarcerated people by including an all-caps tag of the [three-letter country code] at the start of the post and the person's name in bold somewhere in the title to make searching the community easier.

Its a good idea to include information about what organizations are sponsoring them, what forms of solidarity they've requested, and how to send them mail.

There's a prisoner database at Prisoner Solidarity and a list from Solidarity International that are useful for looking up people to correspond with.

Zines

Posts about zines and prison literature to share with friends or mail to prisoners should begin with the tag [Zine], and should link to a page with literature in printable document format or the PDF file itself.

Posts using the tag [Info] are reserved for moderators.

Yeah went to Wikipedia for info and holy SHIT.

Norman Charles fired at the agents with a stolen British .308 rifle.[28] Peltier had an AR-15 rifle.[28] The two agents had fired a total of five shots: two from Williams' handgun, one from Coler's handgun, one from Coler's rifle, and one from Coler's shotgun.[28] In total, 125 bullet holes were found in the agents' vehicles, many from a .223 Remington AR-15 rifle.[28]

The FBI reported that Williams received a defensive wound to his right hand (as he attempted to shield his face) from a bullet that passed through his hand into his head.[28] Williams received two gunshot injuries, to his body and foot, before the contact shot to the head that killed him.[28]

Yeah just because you didn't literally execute then yourself doesn't magically diminish your involvement in their deaths.
