[free-sklyarov] Sklyarov's Whereabouts and L.A. Rally Coverage.

[Xeni Jardin]

clarification: After Silicon Alley Reporter published this article, we
learned that Mr. Sklyarov has apparently had an opportunity to speak
to his wife by phone.

A spokesperson from the US Attorney General's office in SF also told
us they don't know where Sklyarov is at the moment, that the last they
heard confirmation from the Marshals he was being held in Las Vegas.
The spokesperson claimed they will likely only receive updated news of
his whereabouts next when he has actually arrived in a California
facility.

Sklyarov's initial appearance would likely be scheduled within a day
of his arrival, they said. Then, a detention hearing is held, during
which the judge determines whether or not Sklyarov must continue to be
held before further hearings.

The spokesperson reiterated what's been reported elsewhere already --
the fact that Adobe has changed its stance doesn't stop the
prosecution, since the criminal complaint was never theirs to withdraw
and Adobe isn't a party to the case.

But they added that prosecutors take into consideration all aspects of
the case, including the fact that a victim no longer supports the
prosecution.

One would presume that the ongoing demonstrations and actions of the
EFF do not go unnoticed.
