Nearly all arrested from pgh have been released

Almost everybody who went to DC for Friday's action has been released from detainment.

Police made charges by the bus-load rather than individuall or by group; most buses were charged with "failure to obey."

Everybody who went to DC on the POG vans has paid their $50 or $100 fine (depending on where they were sent on the buses; most people paid 50.)

A few people remain in the courtroom still, insisting that the charges and fines are ridiculous and illegal, and they're demanding trial dates. Among those are two Pgh IMC reporters, and one CMU newspaper staff member.

Some people are doing jail solidarity, and not giving their names, but we have no way of knowing how many of those people are from Pittsburgh.
