Some Indymedia Journalists in Ecuador were arrested earlier this week and have not been informed as yet of the charges that they may face. A full (rough) translation of the press release from Indymedia Ecuador is available at this link. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/398483.html?c=on...95189 Extract: "On Tuesday 6th May, 2008, between 10pm and midnight the social journalists Carlos Andrade, Santiago Cadena, Diana Cabascango and Francisco Jaramillo were arrested, members of the Independent Media Centre Indymedia-Ecuador. The case prosecutir, Dr. Francisco Noboa, headed the operation to break in to their houses and arrest them. It's said the prosecutor refused to inform the detainess about the reaons for their arrest, don't want to inform what will be the judge who knows the reason, won't show the detention order (arrest warrant?), not that for the raid." |

Extract: "Ecuadorian police detained five journalists associated with Ecuador Indymedia late Tuesday night. Four of the five were released from custody on Wednesday afternoon. The government says that the four activists were detained because of their relationship with the fifth detainee, Ecuadorian resident and Colombian national Antonio Alcívar.
The government at first refused to issue a statement on the matter or inform the detainees of the reason for their arrests. The Regional Foundation for Assistance in Human Rights (INREDH) noted that this was a violation of the detainees' constitutional right to be clearly informed of the reason for their detention along with the identities of those who ordered and carried out the arrests.
According to INREDH, it is believed that Alcívar is being pursued by the Colombian Administrative Security Department (DAS) for arms trafficking charges and is accused of having ties to the Colombian National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group."
