I-Witness Video Blog :  The Policing of Protest

All are released from detention

Live from the I-Witness Video Residence

Hello folks,

All of our people have been released. As you know from our earlier messages, several of us experienced a house raid earlier today. Two others who were in a car were picked up and held for four hours. Three people were also detained for a couple of hours.

There was a significant media presence documenting our detention--several local television stations, the NY Times, NPR station WNYC, Democracy Now and others.

Now we need to take some time to document what has happened to us and re-group with our people.

We all received many e-mails and phone calls. Thanks again for calling the St. Paul Mayor's office.

We will write again soon.
