Amnesty plan offers draft resisters help with status checks
The ACLU and United Church of Christ announced they secured a complete list of pending federal draft indictments from the Justice Department after five weeks of effort. This list lets resisters verify if they are under indictment or investigation without contacting the government, reducing fear of prosecution and guiding them to the amnesty movement. They aim to obtain a list of about 180,000 cited but never indicted and will provide access via the Clemency Information Center in Indianapolis.
