On August 14, 2007 friends, family and supporters of the 'GABNet 3' welcomed National Chairperson Dr. Annalisa Enrile, as well as GABNet founders, Ms. Judith Mirkinson and Ms. Ninotchka Rosca home. In early August of 2007, Dr. Enrile was informed that she would not be able to return to Los Angeles from the Philippines after attending the Women’s International Solidarity Affair because her name appeared on a state hold list, preventing her from leaving the country. Ms. Mirkinson and Ms. Rosca were reported to be on the same list.
After more than a week of organizing and protesting lead by the
Gabriella Network, including many other international human rights
organization and intervention by state officials the women were able to
fly back to the United States. For more information on the actions
which took place, as well as their homecoming, visit the GABNet website.
