Please copy and distribute widely. Get solidarity for the 100 arrestees by
passing this on widely. There are varying reports on the number of arrests. But
besides those taken in to the jail police have been detaining many people
illegally and then letting them go after awhile. The links are clickable

N16 TABD. 100 Protesters Arrested today, Saturday, November 18, 2000 in
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, "the land of the free." Cincinnati is
finishing up its months of "Pig Gig" celebrations because Cincinnati
is historically known as "porkopolis" from its hog slaughtering and
processing history. But in the last 2 weeks 2 African-Americans have been killed
by the police, one under suspicious circumstances, from asphyxiation during his
arrest. A particularly brutal N16-protester arrest was similar in style to the
arrest that killed the black man. Was the N16 training of the police the cause
of both of these very violent arrests? And why was no medical help offered in a
timely way by the police in both instances? There is much video footage of
beanbag shotgun rounds being used indiscriminately against N16 protesters. These
rounds hit with enough force to break car windows, and did so during the N16
protests. International journalists in Cincinnati have remarked on the
disrespect by police of N16 protesters\' rights in many ways. So the porkopolis moniker
fits for many reasons. Article says "call the jail at 513-946-6100 and
demand that all protesters be released unconditionally."

N16 Legal has just informed us at IMC that 100 Protesters have been arrested
today. They are being held at Municipal County Jail 1000 Sycamoure in downtown
Cincinnati. N16 Legal has asked that we call the jail at 513-946-6100 and demand
that all protesters be released unconditionally. Reports have come across that
protesters have been refused water , have had their charges changed as many as
four times and even denied medication.
A vigil began tonight at 9pm at the courthouse and will continue through the
evening to harrass the jail and express solidarity with the protesters.
One protester, Eliza Cohen, is being held on $400,000 bond and charged with
two felonies.
A Legal fund has been set up to help get protesters out of jail. Funds can be
sent to
N16 Legal 2352 Wheeler Cincinnati Ohio 45219
A permanent site will be set up on Monday for wiring funds for bail.
Estimates are that bail needed to be raised for yesterdays arrests is about
$7200. Today it will probably be upwards of $20,000.
Arraignment is set for Monday so protesters are probably being held through
the weekend unless bailed out.
