The death in custody of Roberto Curti at the hands of 6 NSW police officers early on Sunday 18 March 2012 is one that cannot be allowed to pass without a strong response.

Having watched the video of a part of the chase it is quite clear that the alleged “biscuits thief”, as he was described at the time of the chase, was running away from the 6 police officers and thus is proven to have not caused any danger to those officers. One officer is seen to be smashing his head against the frame of the shop window. There is no logical conclusion why he was then tasered in his back, THREE TIMES, as he staggered away. Also, it has been said that the victim had already been sprayed with capsicum spray and probably his eyes were burning, so he was running to get away from being sprayed again.

BRING JULIAN ASSANGE HOME!
Stating that a decision on Julian Assange's extradition will likely be issued in the next 6 days, Julian's mother, Christine Assange is calling on Australians to get ready for snap rallies across the country, as the decision should come down between March 6 - 14th 2012. This is close to home. When someone is dragged from the pack, we go back for them. It is expected that the appeal outcome to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden will be announced between March 6 - 14.
