UPDATE FROM FEBRUARY 14TH POST:
(NEW YORK CITY) - Artist Emilie Clark and writer Lytle Shaw were arrested for
posting pictures of people from Baghdad in Soho late Thursday night. Both have
been released. A court date has been set to prosecute the two for showing New
York City the people who will die in a possible war against Iraq.  Clark and
Shaw were members of the Baghdad Snapshot Action Crew. Based in New York City,
the crew of 75 artists and activists began posting simple flyers with pictures
of ordinary Iraqi citizens around New York City, in anticipation and solidarity
of the February 15th anti-war rally.The pictures were taken by artist Paul Chan,
who recently returned from Baghdad as a member of the Iraq Peace Team, a project
of the Chicago based, Nobel Peace Prize nominated activist group, Voices in the
Wilderness. Clark and Shaw were taping the letter sized flyer on a lamppost at
the corner of Mercer and Prince Streets when three undercover policemen arrested
them. They were charged with criminal misdemeanors. Shaw was released after five
and a half hours. Clark spent seven hours in jail before her release. Clark is
pregnant with her first son, and is expecting this Spring.
