Suzanne Swift's trial is happening at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, 12/13. If you would like to show support for Suzanne at exit 119 at Fort Lewis, and possibly attend the trial (we are hoping this will be possible), a carpool is forming at the downtown Batdorf & Bronson at 8 a.m. Wednesday, 12/13. At this point, we have 8 spaces for passengers. Please meet us at B&B if you would like to participate.
» The main action to support support Suzanne Swift will be WEDNESDAY December 13th at 9am ------------------------- Free Suzanne Swift! Jail the war criminals! Come support Suzanne Swift at her trial tomorrow, Wednesday December 13, 2006, at 9am at Ft. Lewis For more information call Chanan of Iraq Vets Against the War at: 206-724-5975 Army Spc. Suzanne Swift, facing a redeployment to Iraq while serving under the command of the same individuals that allowed her to be raped and sexual harassed during her first deployment in Iraq, suffered a breakdown due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and went Absent With Out Leave (AWOL) rather than subject herself to the horrors she experienced at the hands of her fellow soldiers during her first tour of duty. Suzanne was arrested for refusing to deploy and her court hearing will be tomorrow morning at Ft. Lewis. Suzanne has signed a statement saying what happened to her, and the military wants to do a summary court-martial with her, saying that she missed movement and went AWOL—giving her up to 30 days in confinement. They are also demanding that she then stay in the military until January of 2009. Join Suzanne's mother, Sarah Rich, and her supporters at Ft. Lewis tomorrow to demand justice!
