[02/28/07] Landless Workers Released!

Dear Friends of the MST,

We are pleased to inform you that Judge Francisco Milton Araújo Jr., of Aguas Belas, Pernambuco, has decided in favor of the provisional release of landless rural workers Almir Silva Xavier and Everaldo Miguel de Oliveira. The two MST activists had been imprisoned in since early February on charges of ‘damage’ and ‘disregard’.

Thanks to all of you who demonstrated your solidarity by sending letters of support.
