Denise Ogonoski (right) was one of the members of Students for a Free Tibet that were deported from China during the Beijing Olympics.

Here, she's being interviewed by Katie Schneider of the Calgary Sun.

This is one of the photos I took of a demonstration by a small group of Nazis (organized by the Aryan Guard) and a much larger group of anti-racists opposing the Nazis at Calgary's City Hall on Saturday, October 14, 2007. A guy with the Aryan Guard group was arrested after throwing a water bottle.
