ACTIVIST CHOOSES JAIL

ANN ARBOR- Faced with the choice between community service and jail for taking part in a 1986 protest against contra aid, Gaia Kile served a three day sentence in the Washtenaw County jail. Kile was one of 118 protesters arrested at Congressperson Carl Pursell's Ann Arbor office.

"Going to jail is an act of continued protest against the U.S.-sponsored war in Nicaragua," said Kile in a press statement. "The war continues... When the vote on aid for the contras comes up in May I will return to Carl Pursell's office to resist the U.S. war against Nicaragua. I encourage others to join me."
