Sun 1 April, 2007 Fools Day

** PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY!****

Happy New Year from the Melbourne Palm Sunday Alliance for a Peaceful and Nuclear-free Future!

With our news media dominated by foolish wars and current affairs debates full of nuclear foolishness, it seems apt that Palm Sunday this year falls on April Fools Day.

You and your organisation are invited to endorse the Palm Sunday national day of action, and organise Palm Sunday events in your location.

*Stop police brutality against Aboriginal people! Justice for Mulrunji!*

*Stop Black deaths in custody!*

*Stop police brutality against Aboriginal people! Justice for Mulrunji!*

Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions, Leanne Clare, has failed to lay /any/ charges against the police officer responsible for the death of Palm Island man Mulrinji on November 19, 2004.

Less than 2 months earlier, the Qld Deputy Coroner, Christine Clements, found that Mulrinji was beaten by Senior Seargent Chris Hurley, such that he sustained 4 broken ribs and his liver was sliced almost in two.

Join this demonstration to demand justice for Mulrinji, the suspension of DPP Leanne Clare and the laying of the highest-level criminal charges against Chris Hurley.

*2.30pm**, Wed 20 December.*

Gather:* **Martin Place** *(near Macquarie St, march to Parliament).* *
