[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi all,

I've just learned that Ana Nogueira has been arrested by riot police in
Miami.  For those who don't know, Ana's been a longterm Indymedia
organizer and supporter.  She was arrested while engaged in completely
lawful behavior as a press member.  Please help spread the word about what
is happening to her and many others and take 5 minutes right now to help
one of our own.  Information on what you can do to help is below.

At approx. 5 pm Friday evening, Nov. 21, Democracy Now! producers Ana
Nogueira and Jeremy Scahill were reporting on the arrest of approximately
20 people who were in Miami to oppose the Free Trade Area of the Americas.

Nogueira and Scahill had their press credentials clearly visible. Nogueira
was videotaping the arrests. At the time of this writing, Nogueira was
being held, handcuffed, in a Miami Police patrol wagon. Jeremy Scahill has
learned that there will be a mandatory overnight detention. According to
Scahill, his efforts to alert the police that they had arrested a
journalist were met with the reply, .It doesn.t matter if she.s a
journalist . she shouldn.t have been there..


CALL NOW and demand that the Mayors of Miami City and Miami-Dade County
restrain their police from further violence and violation of
constitutional rights. RELEASE Democracy Now! journalist Ana Noguira
IMMEDIATELY.
