 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.
