Good news for Jeremy Hammond, who as a young man of 17 was arrested at a Gay Pride Parade in Chicago along with two co-defendants - collectively known as the "Halsted 3" - for getting in a fight with some homophobic hecklers. At that time, Jeremy was coerced into turning over to the police a video he had made of the event, which turned out to be of no value to the authorities, but because of which he received a good deal of criticism among Chicago activists: http://chicago.indymedia.org/archive/newswire/display/60944/index.php

Now, if we can only get the other 1.5 million political prisoners in the US freed, we will be making some significant progress.
