Alison Bodine, 22, of Broomfield, Colo., was carrying anti-war pamphlets in her car when she was arrested Thursday at the Peace Arch border crossing in Surrey, B.C., which is the main crossing between Vancouver and Seattle.
Bodine, who studied physics at the University of British Columbia, said she works with an anti-war group based in B.C. called Mobilization Against War and Occupation.

RCMP and Canadian Border Guards are continuing to refuse to answer any questions about what the warrant was issued for. She has also been labelled a "flight risk" in order to justify keeping her in jail for an
undetermined amount of time.
Since her arrest Alison has been informed that she will face an Immigration Admissibility Hearing, likely Friday Sept 14th. The hearing is expected to take place at Citizenship & Immigration Canada Offices (300
W Georgia).

Alison is a prominent activist in Vancouver, having written numerous articles, spoken at dozens of anti-war and social justice demonstrations and forums.
She is a US-citizen who has publicly and visibly organized against the US occupation of Iraq, and even more so Canada's occupation of Afghanistan.
