Tem's Next Court Date: November 2nd

Temistocles Ferreira, a local community leader and hip hop artist, was assaulted and handcuffed by police in New Bedford in October of 2006. After being attacked, he was refused medical attention and a phone call, nor was he ever read his Miranda rights. Temistoclese was then charged with the very crimes that the officers perpetrated against him.

Now he is awaiting trial for five trumped up criminal charges from the police department that attacked him.

Stand with Temistocles and with all victims of police abuse. Come to support him on November 2nd when his lawyer argues motions with the ADA at the 3rd District Court in New Bedford, MA.
