On August 29, 2007, a demonstration was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the embassy of Uruguay, in solidarity with Fernando Masseilot who has been detained for five months on the accusation of sedition, which is based on the accusation that he broke the window of a McDonalds during a demonstration against a visit to Montevideo by US president George Bush on March 9.
The demonstration in Buenos Aires ended with the arrest of 15 anarchist companions from different groups. The media has spread confusion, speaking of "20 punk youths detained" and the cause of the demonstration being Uruguayan paper factories. Those arrested are accused of assault and resisting arrest, as well as causing damages and injuries.
At 12 noon the next day, eight companions were released. The other seven companions were expected to be released at around 12 midnight.
