One of my best friends, Sean Porter has been detained in the Niger Delta while filming a documentary for Sweet Crude along with 3 other people(Cliff Worsham, Sandi Cioffi, and Tammi Sims). They were detained Saturday morning ~8am (4/12/08). There has been alot of press on this already, without typing it all out again, Here are some links on the incident. Please check out Anna Porter's (Mother) Blog with updated information first. Let's hope for their safe return quickly. http://www.mamacamelsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L12656579.htm http://www.saharareporters.com/www/news/detail/?id=575 http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/12/africa/AF-GEN-Nige ria-Arrests.php I will try to consolidate alot of the information circulating around on a single page soon.
