Link: The right to be tortured Synopsis: Environmental lock-in protest ends with police directly applying pepper spray to locked-up protestors using cotton swabs, or spraying into eyes while holding their heads. Includes Quicktime video. Key quotes: "A lawsuit, filed Thursday on behalf of nine demonstrators, alleges that officers used the spray in violation of standard police practices. The lawsuit also says the action breaks from National Law Enforcement Policy Center guidelines governing the use of pepper spray." "The protesters claim they were subjected to excessive force when officers put liquefied pepper spray directly in their eyes with cotton swabs. At least one young woman also had the substance sprayed into her eyes from a few inches away." Source: CNN / The Associated Press Spotted: 1/4/2001 Author: Susan Reed, Rusty Dornin --SB |
