On April 9, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.) agents raided the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario home of a young nonviolent anarchist who is actively involved in Amnesty International and the Ontario Federation of Students. During the raid they seized a quantity of literature which included information about an Anarchist/Communist Federation conference to be held in Ysiplanti, Michigan the following weekend.

Four days later, 12 Canadians from the Niagara Peninsula and Toronto en route to the conference were seized by U.S. Customs officials in Detroit. They were held for over six hours during which time they were body-searched against a wall, interrogated and fingerprinted. The threat of indefinite detention for not submitting to fingerprinting accompanied this sequence of events.

When they were about to be expelled they were handed notices to appear before hearings of the U.S. Department of Justice. Immigration and Naturalization to determine whether they will be allowed to enter the U.S. again and, if so, on what terms. Meantime, they are banned from entry into the U.S. and will face detention in a penitentiary if they try to cross the border.

The group expects to be represented at the hearings by the American Civil Liberties Union of Detroit. They will argue that the incident is a clear violation of the 1975 Helsinki Agreement which provides for the unhindered passage of individuals and ideas between signatory nations. They need help—financial and otherwise. Please direct any correspondence and contributions to: Regina ACF, Box 3658, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada S4P3N8.

* The Iberian Solidarity Committee is organizing a North American delegation of interested persons to attend as observers the forthcoming national congress of the Con federacion Nacional de Trabajo (CNT) of Spain. The national congress will begin on October 10, 1979 and will probably last a week.

The congress will consist of delegates directly chosen by the workers in their local unions. The Congress will define the position of the CNT on: problems of orientation; attitudes toward reformist labor unions, contracts and movements like the "counter-culture"; problems of agricultural workers; women, ecology, neighborhood centers, schools, etc.

The Committee hopes to charter a plane between Montreal and Spain. The present estimate of the cost of an airline ticket is $375.00 for two weeks' stay. Persons interested in being part of the delegation should write immediately to Iberian Solidarity Committee, 3981 boulevard St. Laurent, 4th floor, Room 444, Montreal H2W, 1Y5, Quebec, Canada.
