The Battle in Seattle: Demonstrators Block Jail Entrance, Demanding the Release of Hundreds of Protesters

Protests continued on the streets of Seattle yesterday for a fourth day, as a large crowd blocked the main entrance to the city jail demanding the release of about 500 people who were arrested on Wednesday during demonstrations against the World Trade Organization. The first of several detained protesters, known as the "Janes and Johns WTO" because they refused to give their real names, were released without charges early this morning.
