Update and Callout for Kelly Rose Pflug Back

Just received this:

-----

August 1st 2010 -

Many of you already know Kelly Rose Pflug-Back, a friend, ally, poet and Guelph activist who was arrested and released on bail during the G20.

After returning home to Peterborough, she again turned herself in less than an hour after police gave a press conference stating that Kelly was wanted for six counts of mischief over $5000 in connection with damages related to the G20.

"Rather then allowing the trial to take place in the court, Toronto Police instead chose to have a trial-by-media sensationalizing her case through words such as "ringleader" and "most wanted". Previous arrested people have had publication bans on their bail hearings specifically to stop the media from ruining their chances at a fair trial. With her
face splashed on the cover of every news station, she not only lost her chance at a fair trial in court, but is already convicted in the minds of the majority of those who follow the media as a criminal, radical and terrorist."

She has been in custody at Vanier since July 22nd.

Most recently, a callout has been issued asking folks to take action, since she is being denied medical attention at Vanier.

Callout is below. Please pass far and wide!!

MEDICAL CARE FOR KELLY

Political Prisoner Kelly Pflug Back, who suffers from Diabetes as well as other serious health problems, has been denied a doctor's visit without any valid reason. As we speak , Kelly's health is deteriorating and she is getting no medical attention.

We feel that EVERY person has a right to healthcare and feel that no one has the right to deny another person health care for punitive reasons. SOS is calling on all people to call the superintendent at Vanier and demand that Kelly Pflug
Back be allowed to see a doctor.

HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT FOR ALL AND NOT A TOOL FOR PUNISHMENT!!!!

Call Superintendent Donna Keating at 905 8768300 ext. 7316 and demand that Kelly be allowed to see a doctor.
