In what appears to be the first use of criminal charges under the 2002 Minnesota version of the Federal Patriot Act, Ramsey County Prosecutors have formally charged 8 alleged leaders of the RNC Welcoming Committee with Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism.在什麼似乎是第一次使用的刑事指控，根據2002年明尼蘇達州版本的聯邦愛國者法案，拉姆齊縣檢察官已正式起訴8指稱領導人對共和黨全國委員會歡迎與陰謀暴動，在推動的恐怖主義。 Monica Bicking, Eryn Trimmer, Luce Guillen Givins, Erik Oseland, Nathanael Secor, Robert Czernik, Garrett Fitzgerald, and Max Spector, face up to 7 1/2 years in prison under the terrorism enhancement charge which allows for a 50% increase in the maximum penalty.莫尼卡bicking ， eryn微調，盧斯基倫givins ，埃里克oseland ，拿secor ，羅伯特czernik ，蓋瑞特菲茨杰拉德，和最高斯佩克特，面對多達7 1 / 2年的監禁下，恐怖主義的提高收費允許增加50 ％ ，在最高刑罰。

Affidavits released by law enforcement which were filed in support of the search warrants used in raids over the weekend, and used to support probable cause for the arrest warrants, are based on paid, confidential informants who infiltrated the RNCWC on behalf of law enforcement.誓章所發表的執法而被提起在支持搜查令所用的掃蕩行動上週末，和用於支持可能的原因為逮捕令，是基於支付的，機密的線人誰滲透rncwc的名義執法。 They allege that members of the group sought to kidnap delegates to the RNC, assault police officers with firebombs and explosives, and sabotage airports in St. Paul.他們指稱，小組的成員尋求被綁架的代表向共和黨全國委員會，毆打警務人員與燃燒彈和炸藥，破壞機場在聖保祿。 Evidence released to date does not corroborate these allegations with physical evidence or provide any other evidence for these allegations than the claims of the informants.證據公佈日期並不佐證，這些指控與實物證據或提供任何其他的證據，這些指控比索賠的告密者。 Based on past abuses of such informants by law enforcement, the National Lawyers Guild is concerned that such police informants have incentives to lie and exaggerate threats of violence and to also act as provacateurs in raising and urging support for acts of violence.根據以往的濫用，如舉報人的執法，全國律師協會是關注的是，這種警方的線人獎勵的謊言和誇大的暴力威脅，並還充當provacateurs在提高，並促請支持的暴力行為。

“These charges are an effort to equate publicly stated plans to blockade traffic and disrupt the RNC as being the same as acts of terrorism. “這些收費是一個努力等同於公開聲明，計劃封鎖交通和破壞共和黨全國委員會作為相同的恐怖主義行為。 This both trivializes real violence and attempts to place the stated political views of the Defendants on trial,” said Bruce Nestor, President of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild.這兩個trivializes真正的暴力行為，以及企圖把說明政治的意見，被告的審判，說： “布魯斯內斯托總統明尼蘇達章全國律師協會。 “The charges represent an abuse of the criminal justice system and seek to intimidate any person organizing large scale public demonstrations potentially involving civil disobedience, he said.” “收費代表濫用刑事司法系統和試圖恫嚇任何人組織大規模公眾示威，可能涉及公民抗命，他說： ”

The criminal complaints filed by the Ramsey County Attorney do not allege that any of the defendants personally have engaged in any act of violence or damage to property.刑事控訴由拉姆齊縣律政司不指稱任何被告個人，從事任何暴力行為或財物損毀。 The complaints list all of alleged violations of law during the last few days of the RNC — other than violations of human rights carried out by law enforcement — and seeks to hold the 8 defendants responsible for acts committed by other individuals.投訴：列出所有被指控的違法活動在過去數天的共和黨全國委員會-以外的其他侵犯人權的行為所進行的執法-旨在舉行的8名被告的行為負責，由其他個人。 None of the defendants have any prior criminal history involving acts of violence.沒有被告有任何事先的犯罪歷史，涉及的暴力行為。 Searches conducted in connection with the raids failed to turn up any physical evidence to support the allegations of organized attacks on law enforcement.搜查進行了涉嫌與襲擊沒有把任何實物證據支持這些指控的有組織的襲擊執法。 Although claiming probable cause to believe that gunpowder, acids, and assembled incendiary devices would be found, no such items were seized by police.雖然聲稱或許有理由相信，火藥，酸，及組裝燃燒裝置會發現，沒有這樣的項目，共檢獲警方。 As a result, police sought to claim that the seizure of common household items such as glass bottles, charcoal lighter, nails, a rusty machete, and two hatchets, supported the allegations of the confidential informants.因此，要求警方聲稱，檢獲常見的家居物品，例如玻璃瓶，木炭，打火機，釘子，一個生鏽的大砍刀，和兩個hatchets ，支持這些指控的身份機密的線人。 “Police found what they claim was a single plastic shield, a rusty machete, and two hatchets used in Minnesota to split wood. “警方調查發現，他們聲稱是一個單一的塑膠盾牌，一個生鏽的大砍刀，和兩個hatchets用在明尼蘇達州的分裂木材。 This doesn’t amount to evidence of an organized insurrection, particularly when over 3,500 police are present in the Twin Cities, armed with assault rifles, concussion grenades, chemical weapons and full riot gear,” said Nestor.這並不等於證據，一個有組織的暴動，尤其是當超過3500警方現正目前在雙城市，武裝突擊步槍，震盪手榴彈，化學武器和充分的防暴裝備， “斯托爾說。 In addition, the National Lawyers Guild has previously pointed out how law enforcement has fabricated evidence such as the claims that urine was seized which demonstrators intended to throw at police.此外，全國律師協會此前曾指出，如何執法編造證據，如索賠的尿液檢獲，其中，示威者有意扔在警察。

The last time such charges were brought under Minnesota law was in 1918, when Matt Moilen and others organizing labor unions for the Industrial Workers of the World [ed.最後一次在這樣的收費，被帶到下，明尼蘇達州的法律是在1918年，當馬特moilen和其他組織的工會為產業工人的世界[教育署。 correction-TCIMC] on the Iron Range were charged with “criminal syndicalism.” The convictions, based on allegations that workers had advocated or taught acts of violence, including acts only damaging to property, were upheld by the Minnesota Supreme Court.校正- tcimc ]對鐵的範圍被落案控以“刑事syndicalism ”的信念的基礎上，指控工人主張或教導暴力行為，包括行為不僅損害財產，堅持由明尼蘇達州最高法院。 In the light of history, these convictions are widely seen as unjust and a product of political trials.在參照歷史，這些信念是廣泛被視為是不公正和一個產品的政治審判。 The National Lawyers Guild condemns the charges filed in this case against the above 8 defendants and urges the Ramsey County Attorney to drop all charges of conspiracy in this matter.全國律師協會譴責指控在這種情況下對上述8名被告，並敦促拉姆齊縣律師丟棄所有的罪名包括陰謀在這件事。
