Santo Domingo,. - Lourdes Contreras, INTEC University’s Gender Training Center director and an activist feminist, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by United States authorities Immigration in Miami while stopping there for a connecting flight to Kingston, Jamaica, where she was to participate in the international seminar “Gender and Governance.”

Contreras’ relatives said they were notified of the arrest by a person who’ll participate in the event and who flew together with the activist.

As of 8 p.m. Wednesday, Contreras’ relatives were unaware of her whereabouts.

Because Contreras has a current United States visa, her relatives can’t explain the reasons for her detention and for being held incommunicado, actions they called arbitrary.

Funny how the "I know my rights" crowd in the D.R. only protest for those rights in the U.S. unless they have a 'pala' pol or policia.

Ok… so she went o Miami to then fly to Jamaica and the authorities arrested her?
I wonder why? They have no reason to do so.
People have the right to protest and now the United States is eliminating visas because people use their rights and fight for social justice.

Hard ball!!!

You know actually she never entered the United States; you do not have to have a visa to connected to another plane to fly to another destination.

I don't get it, if she was a terrorist like that dude who blew up the plane in Venezuela, she would be admitted to the US, but being a social protest chick, well, that is out of bounds. Remember, all the goons from the Bush crime family still have some control over the appendages of US government, and a police state is a police state is a police state. Living in the RD and the US, there is not much difference. She wants to be free, move to Canada.

Perhaps it is because she is the supportive wife of Narciso Isa Conde, known FARC terrorist that the DR protects and provides refuge and even a newspaper column to spout his nonsense. President Fernandez even meets with him from time to time and gave his bodyguards back their weapons. I have never understood why Colombia has never requested his extradition to be put in jail with all his murderous brothers in Colombia.
