This story comes to us from Aaron Barnard-Luce:

Amnesty International activists will protest in front of the Indonesian embassy on Thursday, November 11, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. to demand the release of Filep Karma. He was imprisoned in 2004 for taking part in a flag-raising rally commemorating the declaration of Papuan independence.

Speakers at Thursday's rally will include Amnesty International USA Mid-Atlantic regional director Folabi Olagbaju and will be joined by West Papuan activists.

A court sentenced Karma to 15 years in prison, on charges of treason for "betraying" Indonesia by flying the outlawed Papuan flag.

It’s unbelievable to think that just a few years ago the D.C. food truck scene consisted of nothing more than those standard hot dog/pretzel vendors that prey on tourists by the National Mall. 

You know the trucks I’m talking about…the ones that are all painted that exact same yellowish color and have that same generic cartoon soft pretzel icon that looks ten times better than the one you end up purchasing.

How times have changed.

The D.C. food truck scene has absolutely exploded in the past year, featuring an emergence of creative, multi-cultural cuisine at affordable prices.  From Asian to Latin American, from Indian to Ethiopian, virtually every type of food is represented and can now be found on the streets of Downtown D.C.  The scary thing for restaurants is that the streetcar fare is actually good now…really good.  So good, in fact, that they might actually be stealing some of the old establishment’s lunch crowd.
