Subpoenas neutered

News in Brief

Fourteen US anti-war activists who had their homes raided by the FBI in September have had subpoenas to testify before grand juries dropped following protests in over 60 cities, a national call-in day, and a joint letter from those raided refusing to testify.
Armed members of the FBI took computers, mobile phones, documents, newspapers, framed photos and children’s art work in the 24 September raids in Chicago and Minneapolis, on the grounds that they were searching for evidence “concerning the material support for terrorism.” Mike Kelly, one of those raided, said: “I’m having a hard time paying my rent. There is no material support.”
