Thank you @akashas. We need a criminal defense attorney and a civil prosecutor, and we need funds to cover the best representation and counsel we can get. We're grateful for lawyer suggestions, and if you want to donate you can do so in fiat on our website or in crypto here on the steem blockchain.
We also need eyes on this situation - the police have to know they are seen and we will hold them accountable to their actions. Resteeming this post and sharing through social media is very valuable and important!
