DNC protests will be behind fence
By Felisa Cardona
The fence around the public demonstration zone outside the Democratic
National Convention will be chicken wire or chain link, authorities
revealed
in U.S. District Court today.
That may allow protestors to be seen and heard by delegates going in and
out
of the Pepsi Center during the convention.
But the American Civil Liberties Union and several advocacy groups have
filed an amended complaint to their lawsuit against the U.S. Secret
Service
and the city and county of Denver that says protestors and demonstrators
may
have their First Amendment rights violated by security restrictions.
The ACLU has said it wants to avoid the conditions that existed during the
2004 convention in Boston, where protesters were caged, infuriating First
Amendment advocates.
The first phase of the lawsuit asked the court to compel the city and the
Secret Service to disclose the information on protest restrictions.
During today's hearing before Judge Marcia S. Krieger, the attorney for
the
groups, Steve Zansberg, said the city and the Secret Service had provided
the information sought in Phase One.
The second phase of the lawsuit will address whether the restrictions are
unconstitutional. Zansberg also represents The Denver Post on First
Amendment issues, though the paper is not a party in this dispute.
The groups agreed to go to trial on those issues on July 29 and the judge
will visit the site the night before to *****s the restrictions.
