On 8\/20\/2008, police were called by KPFA and Pacifica management to arrest a unpaid staff member Nadra Haeidy Foster at the station for trespassing. She was attacked, hogtied and arrested by the Berkeley police. This interview was conducted at the Alameda court house on 8\/25\/2008 with some of her supporters.

Following the arraignment Lemlem Rijio the interim manager Lemlem Rijio of KPFA entered the court house to drop the charges filed by KFPA and Pacifica. Other charges are still pending.

Pacifica Exeuctive Director Nicole Sawaya was also personally involved in trying to prevent the KPFA staff from video taping this incident and physically tried to block a photogapher.
