The BC3 needs your help.
Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams are Canadians heavily involved in American anti-prohibition activism for the last 10 years, though remained in Canada throughout. All three are now facing lengthy sentences in federal prison for their pro-marijuana activism.
Emery recently had a plea deal arranged with the American and Canadian governments, where he agreed to serve five years for his part in a running a company that was at one point thought to be the largest importer of marijuana seeds in North America.
Emery was planning to use the time to work for the movement, his political party and a campaign to “overgrow the government” while in prison, and has said several times he has come to terms with the eventuality.
At the last minute however, the Canadian government reneged on the deal and now Emery will have to face another extradition trial June 9, 2009.
Marc had no business outlets in the USA, and never went to the USA to conduct seed transactions. Everything was done openly and transparently in Vancouver, BC. Marc even paid Revenue Canada and Revenue BC half a million dollars in taxes for his income as a “marijuana seed vendor.”
If you wish, here’s the number for Canada’s Minister of Justice to show support or voice your opinion: (613) 957-4222
As the article points out:
If Canadians have broken the law in Canada, they should be given a fair jury trial in Canada. If they wouldn’t face any severe imprisonment in Canada for the charges laid, they should not be extradited to another country to face possible life imprisonment for those same charges.
