Hi FWs, Deke here. We got a call at GHQ this morning from FW Ray Elbourne,
reporting that Lorenzo Komboa Ervin was arrested this afternoon in
Brisbane, Australia by the Australian immigration police, and is
apparently being held for deportation as an "undesirable" despite having
been granted a visa to enter the country.

FW Elbourne requests that people call or fax Australian embassies and
consulates to protest, or even outright picket them. Lorenzo's on a
speaking tour there, and Free Speech Is Labor's Right, after all.

Sorry that's all I know, Ray's been up late and so have I. GHQ has FW
Elbourne's telephone number, should anyone desire to call him and further
discuss the matter. Please pass the word if you can, particularly to those
not online.
