>>>>WHAT HAPPENED TO ALISON BODINE?
Near midnight on Thursday September 13, 2007, Alison
was arrested by the Canada Border Services Agency
(CBSA) when she attempted to legally cross the border
at Peace Arch border crossing, traveling from Canada
into the United States. Three days prior, Alison was
harassed by CBSA officials while traveling from the US
into Canada. The ordeal began when border officials
searched her vehicle and identified her as a political
organizer after they found various anti-war and
political materials and progressive newspapers in her
car. Currently she is being charged with
'Misrepresentation'; however, the basis for this
allegation is vague and the CBSA's argument will not
be fully known until her hearing on Oct 11, 2007.

>>>>WHO IS ALISON BODINE?
Alison Bodine is a US citizen, is a central organizer
with Vancouver antiwar coalition Mobilization Against
War and Occupation (MAWO), for three years was the
president of the University of British Columbia's
Coalition Against War on the People of Iraq and
Internationally (CAWOPI) and was a long-time executive
committee member of the UBC Social Justice Center. She
is also a prominent activist in solidarity with Cuba,
and is a supporter of immigrant and refugee rights in
Canada in the US.
