Eco-activisten veroordeeld tot 9 en 12 jaar cel
whoever - 27.05.2007 00:27

De eerste drie eco-activisten binnen de operatie Green Scare werden veroordeeld tot respectievelijk 12, 12 en 9 jaar cel.

De activisten werden veroordeeld onder de terrorisme-wetten. Wat er ondermeer op neer komt dat hun civiele vrijheden tijdens het gevangenschap extra streng beknot zullen worden.

Een overzicht vind je hier:  http://portland.indymedia.org/en/topic/greenscare/

Er is een nationale oproep in de VS om de rechtzaken van nog vier andere activisten te komen ondersteunen ter plekke. Hun rechtzaken gaan door op:
June 1, 9AM: Nathan Block & Joyanna Zacher
June 4, 9AM: Daniel McGowan
June 5, 9AM: Jonathan Paul

Laten we een kaarsje branden, of er in solidariteit met onze gedachten bij zijn op die momenten!

Friends,
This past week, three people indicted along with Daniel have been sentenced. There has been a plethora of media coverage.

Below are some links to these articles as well as well written opinion pieces.
Many have written asking us what they can do in light of these decisions and we have asked that people engage their community and write letters and opinion pieces to the media. We have provided more information on this below.

Thank you everyone for checking in and seeing how we are doing. Daniel will be sentenced on June 4th. More on that coming soon.
Family and Friends of Daniel McGowan

Weigh in on the Register Guard blog entry entitled "Eco-sabotage: Terrorism or activism"

 http://www.registerguard.com/blogs/index.php/talk/comments/eco_sabotage_terrorism_or_activism/
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken has begun sentencing 10 environmental activists involved in arsons and other acts of sabotage that spanned several years. Operation Backfire is the largest ever prosecution of radical underground environmental activists in the U.S. So far, federal prosecutors have successfully argued that the “terrorism” label should apply to at least some of the actions.
Do you agree? Is this terrorism? Activism run amok? Vandalism? What is an appropriate punishment for those involved?
