U.S. War Resister Arrested ~ How to Support
Fw: Yesterday Robin Long a war resister that has been in the Nelson area for a few weeks was arrested on the street by the Nelson PD. We were told that he would shortly be sent to Vancouver, and then deported back to the United states to be court martialed. Tuesday the 2nd we will be at the city police building on Stanley street at 10 am to show community support and watch for Robin being transferred to Vancouver. We are working to gain his immediate release but in the case that he is deported we are contacting groups through out Canada and the United States to stand with Robin. We would like to get as much support as as we can at the police station but if you are unable to make it here is the number to the city police (250) 354-3919 and Mayor Dooleys Office, 352-8263 (email c/o bdionne@nelson.ca), to call with your support for Robin Long.

"Robin Long is from Boise, Idaho. He received orders in March 2005 to report to Iraq and meet up with his new unit 2-2 IN in May. 'I still don't think that Bush has proven we have any reason to be over there, and I would be wrong to be a tool of destruction', Robin says. He served two years as a tanker in the US army, at Fort Knox before he left and came to Canada in June of 2005. He traveled by hitchhiking from Tofino, BC to St. John's, Newfoundland, and as far north as the north shore of the St. Lawrence during the summer months. 'I have really enjoyed this beautiful country, I'm reminded everyday by its wonderful people that I made the right decision. I remember that a soldier is just a uniform following orders, a warrior is the man or woman that follows their conscience and does the right thing in the face of adversity.' He applied for refugee status in Thunder Bay."
