ChristianNewsWire: "UAB administrators ordered the young people off of the campus claiming that the public university was actually 'private property.' When Kristina Garza, Survivors' new Campus Life Tour director, asked the UAB administrator what right he had to order the group off of public property, the UAB official refused to speak with Garza and would not even provide his name. UAB police responded to the call by administrators and within two minutes arrested the two activists for failing to heed the unreasonable demand to leave the campus and for videotaping the incident. LLDF attorneys made several calls to UAB's general counsel. Within a few hours, the young people were released from jail with no criminal charges."
