Supporters of Trevor Miller, a Six Nations man arrested in connection with violent incidents near the former Douglas Creek Estates, held a peaceful vigil Saturday, saying he should be released from jail.

About 30 people gathered outside the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre, where Miller is being held, on Saturday to show support.

The group waved flags and wore signs urging the government to free Miller.

Several cars drove by honking to show their support.

Miller, 31, was arrested in August and is charged with robbery and assault for the alleged attack of two CH TV staffers as they tried to film native protesters swarming a car near the disputed lands.

Miller is also charged with robbery in connection with the theft of a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle.

Miller has been denied bail, but will appear in a Cayuga court today for a bail review hearing.

Miller's supporters said if he does not make bail, they will hold another vigil outside the jail on Thursday.
