COILHOUSE Diz Arrested
From the Warren Ellis wires:
The partner of designer and COILHOUSE co-creator Mildred Von has been arrested in Dubai for carrying melatonin. This, apparently, gave them the excuse to declare without testing that a few fragments of dirt in the bottom of his bag were hashish. Everyone’s hoping that they’ll be forced to release him in another seven days but the Dubai authorities, as you might expect, are behaving like monsters.
Details are here:

[UPDATE] Mildred has not been arrested but her partner, Diz. Terribly sorry for the error. Being without one’s partner in such a circumstance is still awful. Hopefully, there will be enough momentum to garner attention from larger media.
Submitted to Digg as well.
Chris,
Thank you very, very much for your support. We are very grateful for everyone who raises awareness of this situation.
I do want to add one correction and say that it is not Mildred herself who has been arrested, but her partner, Diz.
Thank you much again, your support means a lot to us.

Thank you so much for this!
The more light is shed on this, the better his chances.
