And a Canadian activist has been barred from entering the United States to speak out against the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver. On Friday, Marla Renn of the Olympic Resistance Network said she was detained and interrogated for six hours before being returned to Canada.

Marla Renn: “When I arrived at the American border, I was picked out of the line before I reached my turn to step up to the wicket. And I was questioned specifically about what I was going to be doing in Portland and questioned quite extensively about who I knew there and the purposes of why I was going to be there. I was subsequently refused entry based on the fact that I haven’t been employed for the last three months.”

Local activists have criticized the Vancouver Olympics for displacing and sidelining low-income residents, as well as infringing on indigenous land rights.
