[IMC-US] Re: [imc-us-process] Ana Nogueira arrested:

[Jay]

Hi all,

I just called the Miami Mayor's office and their mesage said their 
voicemail is full, which may mean that they're getting a lot of calls, or 
it may mean that they just turned off their phones for the 
weekend.  According to the Democracy Now! site Ana has been released for 
the moment but other indymedia reporters are still in jail.

People in Miami, please keep the updates coming.

Jay
