More than 280 people were arrested here in St. Paul Monday, the opening day of the Republican National Convention. Among them were several journalists covering the protests in the streets, including three of us at Democracy Now! Amy was detained trying to question police officers about the arrests of Democracy Now! producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole SalazarPlease call Ramsey County Jail in Minnesota and demand the release of Democracy Now! producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar who were illegally arrested at the RNC protests. (Goodman was released.)
CALL 651-266-8989 to log a complaint against the bogus charges.
OTHER BLOGGERS PLEASE COPY AND POST THIS COMPLAINT LINE NUMBER. THANKS.
BE PERSISTENT
That is the only number for complaints that is working. A friend phoned and was rudely cut off twice by the receptionist taking his call. On his third attempt, he was able to have his complaint logged in.
BE PERSISTENT
I just phoned this afternoon and was able to get my complaint logged in successfully. The receptionist was polite, as well she should be.
Jay,

Are you familiar with De Telegraaf; the paper in Holland? They are running with a story that Dutch INTEL has announced a US strike on Iran "within weeks"...Is this reliable? We should prepare something, yes?

Patrick, thanks for this bit of news. I didn't catch it. I do read Telegraaf, but rarely, because it's a very right wing morning tabloid - lots of gossip entertainment news, but with one of the largest circulations in NL
