Great news out of Toronto yesterday: the Ontario Superior Court has struck down three laws prohibiting prostitution, pimping, and keeping a bawdy house because they are "not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice" and "force prostitutes to choose between their liberty interest and their right to security of the person as protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."

There have been two recent updates in Marc’s situation. He’s been moved to a new unit in SeaTac FDC in preparation for his transfer to an FCI (US Federal Correctional Institution) because SeaTac FDC is for pre-trial inmates and Marc has been sentenced. He will be shipped out soon, but we don’t know when. However, we do finally know where he'll be: Taft FCI in California.

Dearest Jodie: After I saw you Sunday for our perfectly lovely visit (smashing dress you had on), I was informed I was moving from unit DB to another unit. I thought, uh-oh, what did I do, but it wasn't punishment at all, it was to unit FA, which is kind of a waiting unit for inmates who have been designated to their federal prison. So I've been designated!

On September 18, thousands of people from more than 100 cities around the world showed their support for Marc by staging worldwide rallies, marching through the streets, dropping banners from bridges and buildings and holding "Google Marc Emery" signs at busy intersections.
