Charges Dismissed Against No More Deaths Activists in Arizona

HeadlineSep 05, 2006

In Arizona, a federal judge has dismissed indictments against a pair of activists who were arrested for helping three undocumented immigrants get urgently needed medical care. Shanti Sellz and Daniel Strauss were both part of the group No More Deaths that provides humanitarian aid to immigrants crossing the border through the Arizona desert. They faced up to 15 years in jail. More than 3000 people have died trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border since 1994.
