[edit] They were captured, but two were arrested

This sentence I am having trouble understanding the meaning of it. Isn't captured and arrested almost the same? Gadig 12:57, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Not exactly. Arrested means they were charged with a crime. Captured is like sized, they got control of their actions (stopped the uprising) but doesn't mean neither imprisonment nor further charges. Mariano(t/c) 13:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Ya mean seized, right? Taragüí @ 17:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Er, well, they were big... Mariano(t/c) 09:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Seized means detener in Spanish. I think that is a better word than captured Gadig 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
