Five of the 23 activists arrested at the Port of Tacoma on March 11, 2007. From left to right: TJ Johnson, Dennis "Tenzing" Dutton, Patrick Edelbacher, Somerset Fetter (kneeling), and Phan Nguyen. With the exception of Johnson, all were charged with violating traffic laws, even though their arrests had nothing to do with traffic. No charges were filed against Johnson.

This photo was taken inside the holding cell at the Tacoma police station. Notice that Tenzing is still wearing the bag that he was arrested for carrying and which the police claimed was a security threat. All charges that were filed against the March 11 arrestees have been dismissed.
