On March 18th, 2008 five community leaders, including Chief Donny
Morris from Kitchenumahkoosib Inninuwug (KI) were jailed for six months
for contempt of a court injunction which prohibits them from interfering
with a mineral exploration program by Platinex Inc. The community is
gravely concerned about the possible impact to their land and water where
they have lived in the Boreal forest for over 5,000 years.

The Supreme Court of Canada recognizes that consultation with aboriginals
must take place before drilling can start on their land. The Province of
Ontario has failed all Ontarians by allowing the six leaders to be jailed
and ignoring the consultation process.

The KI-6 prisoners must be freed immediately so that they may be seated
at the consultation table beside their Treaty partner, the Government of
Ontario, in discussion with Platinex or any companies wishing to conduct
business on the land and/or in the water near aboriginal territory.

Please help free the KI-6 from prison, starting with the immediate
release of the only woman and grandmother, Cecilia Begg, followed by
the five men.

  stop this grave injustice by writing to Premier McGuinty asking for
  their immediate and unconditional release so that proper discussion may
  begin at once.
