Activists from New York and New Jersey met at Grand Central Station in Manhattan Jan. 25, just three days after Marzieh Hashemi, an African-American journalist working for PressTV, was released from federal detention. Members of the Tri-State Iranian Community, International Action Center, People’s Power Assembly, Workers World Party and even passersby joined together to demand an end to harassment of anti-racist, anti-imperialist journalists. They also demanded an immediate end to the Material Witness Law, an unconstitutional measure used to hold people, especially Muslims like Hashemi, indefinitely without charges. Her release was a victory for the people’s movement worldwide.
