We take a dim view of the Warrens' attempt to intervene in the LSB
election suit, and of Tarif's general role in WBAI governance, but I
think we can also agree that they were doing the right thing when they
objected to police mis-handling of a young black "suspect" and that it
is shameful that they themselves were abused for speaking out on his
behalf.
Accordingly, I gladly help Bob Lederer circulate this call to
support them.

Next Court Date
Monday, April 28, 2008
Michael Tarif & Evelyn
9:00 a.m.
Criminal Court, AP2,
6th Floor
120 Schermerhorn Street
Brooklyn, New York
Take the 2,3,4 or 5 train to
Borough Hall or the A or F
trains to Jay St./Borough Hall.
Every court date we grow stronger -- and the judge grows angrier
at the prosecution's attempts to withhold evidence and frame up the
Warrens.
On Mon. March 3, 2008 several dozen supporters enthusiatically
listened to Attorney Roger Warehams explanation of the court
proceedings. We love you Tarif and Evelyn!
**************************
Who Are Michael Tarif and Evelyn?
Thank You for Visiting Our Site
We are two attorneys, who practice law in New York City. As
attorneys, we have a general practice, but Tarif is known for handling
high profile criminal cases, and cases of police brutality, including
those of Michael Stewart, Yvonne Smallwood, and the five Black
teenagers falsely convicted of raping the white bank executive "the
Central Park Jogger." On Thursday, June 21, 2007 we became victims of
police abuse in Brooklyn.
What Happened?
We were stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic, on our
way to a legal meeting, when we saw members of the New York City
Police Department apprehend, handcuff, and kick and stomp a young
Black man.
We asked the officers why they were doing this and ended up beaten
and arrested, ourselves. Learn more.
