The short explanation of this alert was:

Help Free Political Prisoners in Canada!

Six leaders of the KI Indigenous community are being jailed for peacefully refusing to allow mining exploration to proceed on their traditional lands in Ontario, Canada.

They've been sentenced to six months in prison.

This attempt by the Ontario government to bulldoze over Native rights using the courts and jails -- rather than seek resolution through negotiation and reconciliation -- is a deeply disturbing precedent.

Your letter can help free these political prisoners today. The government needs to see an overwhelming outpouring of public support.

Please write to the Ontario government today and demand the immediate release of these political prisoners.
