On July 21, 2008, Robin Long became the first US war resister to be deported from Canada since the Vietnam war. Robin went AWOL from the Army in 2005 after realizing that he had significant moral opposition to the war.
Robin is currently being held in the El Paso County Jail near Colorado Springs. He will face a court martial in early September. If found guilty, he could face three years confinement, forfeiture of pay, and a dishonorable discharge from the Army.
You can help Robin right now by making a donation to his legal defense fund. You can also find out how to send him books and letters of support at the Courage to Resist website.
