    Background: Using unnecessary force and intimidation, police arrested peaceful protesters at the end of the rally at the APEC summit in Sydney in September 2007. While filming these police actions, Melbourne-based independent filmmaker Marcela Olea was arrested and her gear destroyed. She now faces two charges of assaulting police and one charge of resisting arrest. Expenses for travel, court, counseling and equipment replacement have and will take an immense toll on her and her family. 

    These types of police and government actions not only highlight the inappropriate use of anti-terror laws, but also show the alarming trend of erosion of civil liberties for many walks of life. Send a message to the current government that this misuse of power is unacceptable and the APEC arrestees' charges should be dropped. 





    Support the right to peaceful protest without police intimidation. 


    Support independent media. 


               Stop the erosion of civil liberties. 


             Drop Charges on APEC ARRESTEES!
