Support for G20 Protester Facing Trial
Maori activist and mother of three, Sina Brown-Davis, goes to trial before a jury in the Melbourne County Court today 2nd July 2009, on charges relating to protests against the G20 two and a half years ago in Melbourne.
For decades we were told that free market capitalism was the solution to all of society's problems. The world economic crisis has shattered that myth. Millions are being thrown out of their jobs or their homes. A whole generation of young people wanting to enter the workforce are finding that there are simply no jobs. In a world where there is the technological capacity to provide a decent life to every person on this planet, poverty and want are everywhere.
As already reported on this site (see http://indymedia.org.au/2009/06/15/update-from-the-sydney-g20-solidarity...) the trial was due to begin in Melbourne today of one of the activists arrested after the G20 protests in November 2006. Sina Brown-Davis is charged with riot, affray and criminal damage.
