Chevron bars shareholders from meeting, 5 arrested
By Rainforest Action Network: Five leaders arrested this morning at Chevron's shareholder meeting. Reverend Davis of Richmond, CA; Juan Parras, Houston of TX; Mitch Anderson of San Francisco, CA ; Antonial Juhasz of San Francisco; Han Shan of New York

The first four staged a sit-in at the front of the Chevron building in downtown Houston at the entrance into the shareholder's meeting. Chevron denied over 20 shareholder's from around the world (including Ecuador, Angola, California, Texas, Burma, Australia) entry to the meeting despite having secure paperwork. In response, Reverend Davis staged a sit-in and were joined by Parras, Anderson and Han Shan.

Antonia Juhasz made it into the meeting and was dragged out by security for her comments and arrested amidst chanting protestors.
