BREAKING: Ex-Soviet Dissident ARRESTED, JAILED, & CHARGED For 1st Amend.-Protected @GeorgeMasonU Anti-Terror Posters
NOV 15, 2016 by CHARLES C. JOHNSON

Former Soviet dissident, artist, and activist Oleg Atbashian has been arrested, jailed, and charged with a felony for a first amendment-protected flier and poster campaign on the George Mason University campus near Washington, D.C. protesting international Islamic terrorism.

Atbashian, who authored the book Shakedown Socialism, and his partner were arrested while putting up posters and charged with felony destruction of property because their posters were apparently “super-glued” and impossible to remove.
Atbashian, who spoke to GotNews, insists this is ludicrous and that his posters and fliers were easily removable, as is standard for any poster or sticker campaign. Atbashian questions whether his arrest, imprisonment, and charge, for which he faces up to 5 years in prison, were politically motivated:

“Progressivism and its main tool, political correctness, are absurd and dehumanizing not just in theory; its physical implementation is also rather dreadful and painful, as I personally experienced yesterday, being turned from an activist artist into inmate #2076524 in Fairfax County jail, with aching bruises on my wrists from excessively tight handcuffs, and the prospect of spending five years in prison as a convicted felon.”
