REMINDER: Tomorrow, Thursday the 17th, we will be at the Downing court, Liverpool & Elizabeth st at 12.30. We will there demanding justice for Cory Baker. The ISJA protest in support for Corey Barker will beginning in Elizabeth Street and rotating around to Castlereagh street at 12.30pm. In January, 2011, six police officers in the NSW town of Ballina arrested and badly assaulted Cory, to add insult to injury, Corey was charged with punching one of the officers concerned. For over a year these six officers colluded in this fabrication of evidence. When the matter came to court before magistrate Halpern he considered that the evidence from the six officers was at some risk so he called for the camera footage of Corey and the police at the Ballina station. This footage clearly showed that the police had lied on oath and they in fact had assaulted Corey. He was thrown head-first into a table, repeated punches and kicks and he hand-cuffed and thrown into a cell with serious multiple injuries. Halpern summarily dismissed all charges against Corey and, quite correctly, referred the actions of the six police to the police integrity commission for their consideration. The PIC began their investigations in 2012 and agreed that all six officers had to charged with assault, perjury and other charges totalling 25 in all. The six officers, past and presently serving, will be appearing in court on the 17th. 4 of the officers, namely sc. David Hill, sc. Mark Woolven, c. Ryan Eckersley and c. Lee Walmsley have all been stood down pending the court outcome. it is believed that then serg. Robert Mccubben and then-c. Luke Mewing have resigned from the police force. We expect that these six past and serving officers must be held accountable for their criminality and thuggish behaviour. We thank those judicial members who no longer will suffer the lies and hypocrisy of the police. We also congratulate the PIC for their professionalism in investigating those cases that have been referred to them. Mostly however we must thank Corey Barker for his courage and tenacity in staying strong to his struggle for justice. We owe him a great debt indeed. We give him the last word to date, I can just sit back and relax while their going through what they tried to put me through.
