Solidarity From Occupy Edmonton to Occupy Oakland

For Immediate Release: Oct. 27, 2011

Occupy Edmonton would like to extend our solidarity to the people of Occupy Oakland. We have been shocked to see reports of extreme police brutality that occurred at the Occupy Oakland camp on October 25, 2011.

Occupy Edmonton condemns any acts of abuse committed by any law enforcement agency. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of 24-year old Iraq War Veteran Scott Olsen, who is currently in critical condition after being struck by a police projectile, and all Occupy Oakland people that were affected by the police crackdown. See footage here: http://vimeo.com/31187119?mid=513

We will be holding a candlelight vigil tonight in Edmonton to express our hopes for Scott Olsen's speedy and full recovery.

Date & Time: Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 @ approx. 6:45pm
Location: Occupy Edmonton Park at Jasper Ave. & 102 St.

In Solidarity,
Occupy Edmonton
