Members of the Progressive Lawyers Association [PLA] declared that they would be starting a new seminar aimed at educating all dissident citizens, starting with students, journalists, academics, and writers on the terminology of arrest and what that legally entails, such as "evidence" or "take under custody."

[...] PLA aims at providing legal assistance to all 'usual suspects' and enumerating their rights protected by international codes and contracts in an effort to minimize the detrimental effects of these wide-spread unlawful practices on all levels of society."
