The group advocates for civil liberties for political prisoners and took on Muhammad's case last month. "Malik is designated 100 percent disabled as a combat veteran because of extreme PTSD. And the Department of Corrections knows that."

De acordo com o Civil Liberties Defense Center, um observador legal é um indivíduo treinado, geralmente um estudante de direito ou profissional jurídico, cuja função é supervisionar as interações em protestos para fornecer um relato confiável dos eventos e responsabilizar os órgãos de segurança. Normalmente, observadores jurídicos também usam roupas identificáveis para designar seu status.

3 Atlanta activists are arrested after their fund bailed out protesters of 'Cop City'
Lauren Regan, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, called the arrests an "extreme provocation" in a statement.
"Bailing out protestors who exercise their constitutionally protected rights is simply not a crime," Regan said. "In fact, it is a historically grounded tradition in the very same social and political movements that the city of Atlanta prides itself on. Someone had to bail out civil rights activists in the 60's — I think we can all agree that community support isn't a crime,"
Assassinated in cold blood': activist killed protesting Georgia's 'Cop City'
Police raids on the forest intensified until 14 December, when a half-dozen "forest defenders" were arrested and charged with "domestic terrorism" under state law – another unprecedented development in US environmental activism, said Lauren Regan.
Um novo projeto de lei no Oregon pode mirar ativistas ambientais como terroristas
Advocates in Oregon have pointed to other events in Georgia as an example of the ways in which a domestic terrorism bill could be used to target protesters. Georgia lawmakers first expanded the state's definition of domestic terrorism in 2017 to include crimes committed with the intent to "alter, change, or coerce the policy of the government."
There was a stated reason for why the [Georgia] law was passed — to target mass shootings," said Sarah Alvarez, a staff attorney with the Civil Liberties Defense Center. "Now it's being twisted to apply to environmental protesters who haven't harmed anyone. That is the concern that I have when I look at the Oregon bill."
"It's just this incredibly short-sighted fix," Alvarez said of the paramilitary bill. "I applaud them for wanting to try to make fixes, but it just doesn't seem to take into account the reality of what people experience on the ground."
CLDC attorneys argue the blanket curfew was unconstitutional because it was not narrowly tailored with ample alternatives for free expression, was overbroad, and that "no reasonable officer could believe there was probable cause for arrest."
Anti-riot laws aren't about curbing violence—they're about stifling civil dissent
Embora as novas leis aumentem os riscos para os manifestantes, Regan acredita que a construção de movimentos em larga escala é a melhor maneira de combater a legislação anti-protesto, e os organizadores precisam aprender a operar em um ambiente cada vez mais restritivo.
Prisão Destruída; Vídeo Comprova Guardas Torturando Antifascista, Dizem Advogados
"That level of citizen accountability, especially when it comes to police misconduct, does not exist in the prison system. There are no cell phones that incarcerated people have, there are no cameras that they get to control," said Regan. "The BOP employees know where the cameras are and are not. So when they are committing acts of misconduct they know better than many how to get away with it."
"What we are seeing at Line 3 are definitely more significant charges or serious charges with the potential for more serious punishments," said Lauren Regan, executive director and a senior attorney at the Civil Liberties Defense Center, which is helping represent pipeline activists.
Como proteger seu celular contra vigilância estatal
On today's show, It's Going Down presents a presentation from the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC) based out of Eugene, Oregon, about state and corporate surveillance, your cell phone, and how to lock it down to keep unwanted eyes from getting inside of it.
A palestra conta com a participação de Lauren Reagan, que já esteve no programa múltiplas vezes, assim como Glencora Borradaile, autora de Defend Dissent. Esta apresentação surge em um momento em que muitas pessoas novas estão se envolvendo em movimentos sociais emergentes e, apesar do aumento da popularidade de serviços como ProtonMail e Signal Messenger, o Estado está constantemente evoluindo suas táticas e reprimindo a autonomia digital e a autodefesa contra a vigilância.

"Everybody, including Ms. Safay, has the right to protest and express dissent towards their government and in this case the firm Hornecker Cowling, it seemed to us, that they were using their connection and access to silence dissent and Ms. Safay's and the other activists' political message," Alvarez says

Eugene CLDC Amends Filing Against City of Eugene & EPD To Name Officers In May 31 Protest
In the CLDC initial filing, officers had not been identified, but are now being included after identities were revealed during a discovery process. They're also calling for the removal of Sgt. William "Bill" Solesbee, or at least asking he be placed on desk duty.
"One thing that repeatedly leapt off the page of the civil discovery documents was a name that we have all seen far too many times in association with police brutality against protestors — Sgt. William Solesbee," Lauren Regan, director and attorney with CLDC, said in a statement.
Attorneys are still pursuing the lawsuit on behalf of six other people who sued the city over the way Eugene police handled a peaceful protest that turned into a riot on May 31. That's separate from a case the city settled with a Eugene Weekly reporter shot with tear gas covering the protest.
On this episode of the It's Going Down podcast, we again speak with Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC), about the changing face of State repression as the new administration takes power and the push by various forces to paint protest as "domestic terrorism."
A Busca Por Água Para a Cidade de Weed, Mais Processos Judiciais
Water is always a complicated subject in California, and perhaps more complicated in Weed. The city does not own its water source, Roseburg Forest Products does. So the city is working to secure a new water source while the lawsuits fly. Some of those suits have been filed by the company against residents of Weed involved with the group Water for Citizens of Weed California (WCWC), including the "Weed 9" who have expressed objections to RFP's behavior. We sort this out with Bruce Shoemaker from WCWC and Rebecca Chapman from the Civil Liberties Defense Center.

"I was supposed to be protected under the First Amendment and exempt from the city's curfew," said Houston in a CLDC press release. "Across the country, protesters and journalists have been targeted and injured by overzealous police response. With this lawsuit I want to change how policing is done in Eugene."
Attorneys for the Civil Liberties Defense Center are calling actions by the City of Eugene, including Eugene police, in response to the last week of protests "a draconian affront to the dignity of a righteously angered population" and are demanding an end to "preemptive curfews," the use of "unlawful and unconstitutional excessive force" by law enforcement and the stoppage of use of CS/CN gas, projectiles and other riot control measures commonly used by law enforcement.

Juiz Determina Que Advogado Steven Donziger Permaneça em Prisão Domiciliar Até Setembro
"We believe Chevron is going after this public interest lawyer because they want to chill and scare other public interest lawyers from ever suing them," said Regan. "They want to make it so litigants cannot obtain counsel to challenge all the death and poisoning they've done around the planet."

Lauren Regan sobre Inteligência Cinza e Ativismo Ambiental / 179
Neste episódio de For The Wild, conversamos com Lauren Regan para discutir ativismo de base, corrupção corporativa e nosso direito de discordar. Dando atenção especial às conexões de longa data entre empresas privadas, a indústria de petróleo e gás e um aumento cada vez maior na legislação punitiva favorável às corporações, perguntamos a Lauren o que o aumento atual da inteligência cinza significa para o ativismo ambiental? Que agenda pode ser promovida quando empresas de segurança privada que antes supervisionavam a construção de dutos começam a intervir na recuperação de desastres?
The "choice of evils" defense, also known as the "necessity defense," places the power of justice into the hands of jurors, according to Lauren Regan, lead attorney for the activists and executive director of the CLDC. "With catastrophic climate change looming, it's time for the people to be able to decide who the real criminals are," Regan says. "The greedy corporate profiteers poisoning the water and destroying the planet, or the regular people who are willing to stand up to defend our communities?
This challenge stems from the arrest of homeless advocate Eric Jackson. On Feb. 12, Jackson was arrested and charged with criminal trespass while protesting the criminalization of homelessness by city and county authorities, as well as the plaza's curfew. "He was there to challenge the curfew and was trying to draw attention to ICE at the same time," Lauren Regan, executive director of CLDC, tells Eugene Weekly. "He is a leader and activist in the homeless community."
