ACLU/SC to Sue Veterans Administration for Denying Free Speech Rights to Veteran
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The ACLU of Southern California will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce it is filing a free-speech lawsuit on behalf of a 67-year-old Army veteran who has been protesting land-use policies by the Veterans Administration at the VA facility in west Los Angeles for more than a year.
Although the U.S. Attorney’s Office last year dismissed five citations against Robert Rosebrock for displaying the U.S. flag upside down, VA police recently resumed their campaign of selective enforcement against him depending on how he displays the flag during his protests.
The press conference will take place Tuesday, March 16, 2010, at 10:30 a.m., in front of gates to VA park on the northeast side of San Vicente Boulevard, ˝ block north of intersection of Wilshire and San Vicente (west of I-405).
For more information, please see press advisory attached.
