MindFreedom MFIShield Update: Alison Hymes okay

Here is a portion of the message from David Oaks, MindFreedom International founder:


"Good news:

The MFI Shield Alert for Alison Hymes is over as quickly as it went
out, and she appears to be okay at this time.

Alison activated her shield alert two days ago (see copy below). She
reported today to MindFreedom member and volunteer Frank Blankenship
that she is home, resting, and didn't have a hearing. A friend of
Alison told Frank she is doing better.

Said Frank: "I would imagine that it didn't hurt to have friends and
supporters in the background tirelessly working for her release
either. Thanks everybody."

Yes, I second that: Thanks to everyone on Solidaritynet and beyond,
who responded quickly."

Now this is the best news I've had all day!
