But recently released video evidence shows that the Christians were not causing a disturbance at all. They were merely exercising their rights of freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion.

The video shows the Christians peacefully engaging in conversation with festival attendees when the police abruptly rush in and arrest them.

The same group of Christians were falsely arrested at the same Arab festival last year. Eventually, all charges were dropped. But now the Dearborn police have violated their civil rights again.

TAKE ACTION:

Help us demand an investigation of Chief of Police Haddad and the Dearborn Police Department. Contact these Michigan Senators from the State Police and Military Affairs subcommittee, and demand that they investigate police corruption in Dearborn Michigan.
