Superior Court. The government claimed that valacyclovir without prescription it was not prepared to proceed with trial, and the valacyclovir without prescription charges of “failure to obey” and “blocking and incommoding” were summarily dropped. Even though the valacyclovir without prescription 15 activists were unable to put the SOA on trial in D.C. Superior Court, they consider this valacyclovir without prescription dismissal to be a victory for the movement to close the valacyclovir without prescription SOA/WHINSEC and valacyclovir without prescription to demand accountability from the government. While initially charged with the valacyclovir without prescription traffic violation of “failure to obey,” when the activists refused to pay the $100 associated fine, the prosecution added the second charge of “blocking and incommoding.” The defendants were aided in their case by D.C. lawyers Ann Wilcox and valacyclovir without prescription Mark Goldstone. The SOA Watch movement recognizes this valacyclovir without prescription as an effort by the government to intimidate and to stifle dissent. The actions of these SOA Watch activists are valacyclovir without prescription part of a growing wave of public discontent with the policies of President Obama, who valacyclovir without prescription continues to lead the country down a path of militarization, environmental destruction and valacyclovir without prescription war. “The dismissal of our charges was a sign that we did nothing illegal,” said Alice Gerard, from valacyclovir without prescription Grand Island, NY, one of the 15 activists. “We were exercising our First Amendment rights; however, because our message was critical of governmental policy – namely, continuation of operations at the SOA/WHINSEC – we were summarily arrested and removed.” The SOA Watch activists affirmed that valacyclovir without prescription they were ready to put the SOA/WHINSEC on trial. “Today we hold this valacyclovir without prescription victory in the name of the thousands killed, tortured and disappeared by graduates of the valacyclovir without prescription SOA,” added defendant Paki Wieland, of Northampton, MA. The activists were part of a valacyclovir without prescription group of 27 individuals who were arrested as they lay on the valacyclovir without prescription White House sidewalk, recreating the massacres carried out against the people of Latin America by graduates of the valacyclovir without prescription School of the Americas, and demanding that President Obama issue an valacyclovir without prescription executive order to close the institution. The School of the valacyclovir without prescription Americas, based in Ft. Benning, Georgia, is the U.S. military's flagship Spanish-language training institution, and valacyclovir without prescription has graduated some of the worst human rights violators in the valacyclovir without prescription hemisphere. In December of 2000, in an valacyclovir without prescription effort to divert attention, the Pentagon closed the school; a month later, they opened a valacyclovir without prescription new school, in the same location, with the same instructors and valacyclovir without prescription with the same curriculum. The only thing that changed was the valacyclovir without prescription name of the school: the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC). In 2009, two graduates of the SOA/WHINSEC, Romeo Vásquez Velásquez and Luís Javier Prince Suazo, helped lead the coup d’etat which overthrew the valacyclovir without prescription democratically elected government of Manuel Zelaya, and unleashing a wave of repression against the valacyclovir without prescription Honduran people. SOA Watch works to valacyclovir without prescription stand in solidarity with people of Latin America, to change oppressive US foreign policy, and valacyclovir without prescription to close the SOA/WHINSEC.
