The President of the Asian Bar Association, as well as Amnesty International, the Hispanic Bar Association and others spoke. I recognized members of the distric attorneys staff, senior partners from law firms, the Executive Director of the MBA, Marilyn Wellington. I did not see any elected officials, however.
Apparently lawyers who are not young, are diabetic, or have high blood pressure are detained and being denied their regular medication. Some have been taken from their homes in the middle of the night, and their families do not know where they are. Others have been beaten.
Where is the outrage???
Please share widely!
The MBA and many downtown lawyers were there – over 100 and I would say possibly as many as 300. Very different from what was reported.
