Takeover of Brooklyn DA Office
Title
Takeover of Brooklyn DA Office
Description
On March 13, 1996, twelve demonstrators took over the office of Brooklyn D.A. Charles Hynes to demand justice for the police brutality cases involving Yong Xin Huong and Anibal Carrasquillo Jr. The sit-in called for Hynes to indict NYPD Officers Steven Mizrahi Marco Calderon again for the separate murders of Huong and Carrasquillo Jr. The demonstrators were supported by protestors outside, which included members of CAAAV and the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights. The outside protestors can be seen in this image, which features a large, multiracial crowd wielding signs featuring pictures of Huong and Carrasquillo, and demanding action from DA Hynes.
