Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams (the "B.C. three") are set to face extradition to the United States in hearings beginning on May 28 in the B.C. Supreme Court. They face 10 years to life imprisonment for selling marijuana seeds, should they be extradited. The Canadian government has knowingly taxed these sales for the past decade, while Mr. Emery has used all of his income fighting prohibition. I find it incredible that genocide in the third world is ignored, yet peaceful political activists face the full wrath of George Bush's regime. Sudan's war against its own people is being ignored, while our governments continue the war against us. What are they smoking? Travis Erbacher, Langley - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
