Protesters Assemble to Support Activist 8/8/12 8.45a AF

Between 35 and 40 protesters arrived at the steps of the Santa Cruz County Courthouse last night to show their support for Santa Cruz lawyer and activist Ed Frey.    The 72-year-old Frey is an advocate for homeless rights, and was arrested in 2010 during a peaceful camping effort aimed at protesting the county’s anti-sleeping laws.   Frey was charged with a misdemeanor and has been sentenced to 6 months of jail time.   The protesters planned to stay the night in front of the courthouse steps until 9am this morning, when Ed Frey is required to report there for the start of his sentence.
