Those arrested<BR>include the leadership of the historic Salvadoran rural development<BR>organization CRIPDES. Detainees have reported violent police abuse after<BR>the arrests, including being flown over a lake by police and told they<BR>were going to be dropped in.<BR><BR>In a secret tribunal hearing on Saturday July 7, 13 of the 14 arrestees<BR>were charged with terrorism. These 13 were placed under "preventative<BR>prison” as the prosecution continued to build their terrorism case. A few<BR>weeks later the 13 prisoners were released, but these charges of terrorism<BR>remain.<BR><BR>For more information on the Suchitoto terrorism charges, check out:<BR><BR><A href="http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/812/1/" target=_blank>http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/812/1/</A><BR><A href="http://www.cispes.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=232&Itemid=28" target=_blank>http://www.cispes.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=232&Itemid=28</A><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
