An Oberlin Student Senator protests the G-20. guardian.co.uk
Pittsburgh police arrested three Oberlin students on Thursday and Friday in conjunction with the G-20 protests. The student arrested on Thursday refused to provide identification and is still being held. Of the two students arrested last night, one was released this morning, while the other is currently being processed.
Update: The student who was being processed has been released.
Before leaving for the G-20 protest, many students, including all three who were arrested, gave information to Meagan Day ’11, who is serving as legal support from campus. “When arrests happened, the responsibility for tracking them here at Oberlin fell on me,” said Meagan. She has been in hourly contact with the students in Pittsburgh and is keeping track of students shuffled between the Allegheny County Jail and SCI Penitentiary.
Students will be returning tonight and tomorrow from the protests with more information.
A video of the protest including an Oberlin student can be seen here.

found this earlier this summer. G20 comes as no surprise…
Sorry, I meant Moment of Zen.
The student in the cow outfit was The Daily Show’s moment of bliss.
You won’t post names, but you’ll post pictures?
Sam was misquoted in that article, btw.
wow yeah!!! also http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8276035.stm Sam Jewler pictured and quoted in BBC! Doesn’t he edit your “enemy” the Review?
He’s certainly an editor but not an enemy. I’m glad that the Review had the staff to send someone to the protests.
We wanted to get the story from the students before releasing their names. We also did not say that the student in the picture has been arrested.
