Anti-war activists plan protest at federal building
Anti-war activists are planning to hold banners in front of the building that houses the U.S. attorney's office on Tuesday to denounce what they say is "harassment" by the FBI and grand jury.
More than a dozen anti-war activists have been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Chicago as it looks into possible allegations of material support of terrorists. In addition, seven houses and an office in Minneapolis were searched by the FBI last month.
The anti-war activists say they are being harassed, and those who have been subpoenaed are refusing to testify.
As part of Tuesday's 4:30 p.m. news conference at the federal building, the peace and anti-war activists also plan to deliver messages of support and solidarity to the U.S. attorney's office.
