In New York, during the 2004 Republican National Convention, police violated the rights of thousands of protestors. The violations included roundups of demonstrators, spying on non-violent political activists, the use of agent provocateurs, and the faking of evidence.
On this edition, in a collaboration with Abby Scher of Public Eye Magazine, we talk with New Yorkers who exposed the police abuses, and lawyers in the cities where the Democratic and Republican conventions will be held this summer, as they fight to prevent similar tactics.
Featuring:
Chris Dunn, Associate Legal Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union; Eileen Clancy, director of “I-Witness” video; Heidi Boghosian, director of the National Lawyers Guild; Bruce Nestor, Minnesota Lawyers Guild; Tom Cincotta, National Lawyers Guild.
