俄勒冈州监狱限制单独监禁最长90天。这位BLM抗议者已被单独囚禁250天。.
"We are talking about a conditions-of-confinement issue," said Muhammad's attorney, Lauren Regan, director of litigation and advocacy at the Civil Liberties Defense Center. 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."
Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defense Center, stated, "It is deeply unjust that these social justice activists have been used as political pawns in the highly contentious national fight over abortion and access to reproductive health care —and under Joe Biden's Department of Justice."

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.
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."
民主党议员正在推动一项国内恐怖主义法案,一些人认为该法案极易被滥用
"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."
布莱克 Lives Matter 活动家为何希望法官裁定 2020 年尤金宵禁违宪
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
尽管新法律增加了抗议者的风险,雷根认为,大规模的运动建设是打击反抗议立法的最佳方式,组织者需要学会如何在日益限制性的环境中运作。.
"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."
针对Line 3抗议者的刑事案件给明尼苏达州乡村的法律体系带来压力
"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.
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.

保卫 Standing Rock,对抗国家镇压:对劳伦·里根的采访
After refusing to testify, the Magistrate Judge overseeing the grand jury held Steve in contempt of court and ordered him imprisoned. After nearly three weeks in jail, Steve was released, but the government's attack on him continues. In order to learn more about his case and the broader climate of repression against activists and protestors, I spoke with Lauren Regan, executive director and lead attorney with the Civil Liberties Defense Center in Oregon.
随着警察和抗议者之间的对抗日益频繁,公民自由辩护中心就去年“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动中对活动家和市民的待遇问题,起诉尤金市和尤金警察局的警官。我们将听取该中心执行董事兼高级律师劳伦·里根关于诉讼进展的介绍。.
Safay's attorney, Sarah Alvarez with the Civil Liberties Defense Center, says the code enforcement was motivated by her client's political speech and was a violation of her rights under the Oregon Constitution and the First Amendment. "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
In order to learn more about Steve's situation, Perilous Chronicle editor Ryan Fatica spoke with Lauren Regan, Lead Attorney and Executive Director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center in Oregon who has spent many years of her life dedicated to defending those facing charges for their participation social movements. Our segment this week focuses primarily on another water protector, Sophia Wilansky. Lauren is representing Wilansky, a Standing Rock protestor who is suing law enforcement for injuries she sustained during a protest on the Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock in 2016 and has been following the grand jury proceedings closely.
Eugene CLDC Amends Filing Against City of Eugene & EPD To Name Officers In May 31 Protest

尤金市将向一名因5月31日警方处置方式而提起诉讼的女子支付$61K;新的法庭文件中列出了更多涉事警员
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."
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.

最新消息:一名在5月31日抗议活动现场报道时被催泪瓦斯击中的记者,与尤金市达成了$45K的和解协议
Reporter Henry Houston said he and the Civil Liberties Defense Center, which filed the lawsuit on his behalf in the U.S. District Court in Eugene, on Wednesday settled with the city for $45,000, according to the city. Houston said he'd asked the city to alter its policing policies as terms for a settlement, but said the city wouldn't consider that path.
"While I was recording the response, I was hit by a tear gas canister and shot by pepper balls despite identifying myself as a journalist several times." ... Houston has teamed up with the Civil Liberties Defense Center to bring the City of Eugene, the City Manager, and four "John Doe" officers to court, as the EPD has declined to name the police involved in the incident.
"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.
4月22日,公民自由辩护中心执行主任劳伦·里根(Lauren Regan)在加利福尼亚州锡斯基尤县高等法院对一家律师事务所提起诉讼,该诉讼称该律师事务所对九名韦德(Weed)居民提起了所谓的“禁止策略性诉讼”(SLAPP)。里根表示,此举不仅是为了给活动家伸张正义,也是为了追究代表罗森堡森林制品公司(Roseburg Forest Products)提起诉讼的律师事务所丘奇韦尔·怀特律师事务所(Churchwell White LLP)的责任。.
"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."
We're happy to share the rest of our conversation with Michele Gretes, director of the Digital Security project at the Civil Liberties Defense Center, and Cora Borradaile, who is on the board of the CLDC. For this podcast special, you'll hear the two discuss different tools for more secure, encrypted communication that is available on various platforms to folks organizing.
在本期《为了野外》节目中,我们与劳伦·里根(Lauren Regan)对话,讨论基层行动主义、企业腐败以及我们的异议权。我们特别关注私营公司、石油和天然气行业与日益增长的企业友好型惩罚性立法之间长期存在的联系,并询问劳伦“灰色情报”的增加对环保行动主义意味着什么?当曾经监督管道建设的私营安保公司开始介入灾难恢复时,这可能会推进何种议程?
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."
