[Ppnews] Ojore Lutalo Arraigned - support needed

[Political Prisoner News]

Ojore had an arraignment this morning, Thursday January 28, at 11 am in
the La Junta City Courthouse. Ojore was formally charged with "Interfering
with Public Transportation," and bond was set at $30,000.

The prosecution initially asked for a $50,000 bond citing Ojore's previous
"criminal" background and imprisonment as well as him being an out of
state resident.

The defense argued for a $1,000 bond citing Ojore's links to the Denver
community and housing available to him as well as his previous
imprisonment being a "politically biased imprisonment".

The judge ruled that Ojore's bond would be set at $30,000, justifying this
amount because Ojore is an out of state resident, and in 1982 Ojore was
convicted of a failure to appear charge and presently posed a flight risk
due to this history.

Denver Anarchist Black Cross Federation members were present for the
hearing and are presently in La Junta working to bail him out. A bondsmen
has been secured that will post bond for Ojore at the cost of $3,010.
