An update from the arraignment hearings of Sarah Harvey and Bill Rogers

Dec. 8 - Sarah Harvey and Bill Rogers were arraigned this morning after their arrest yesterday as part of a nation-wide sting against environmental activists.

Sarah is charged with damaging a U.S. Forest Industry Building in Medford-Jackson County, Oregon. She faces 5-20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
She is being held until an extradition hearing on the 13th, and is facing extradition to Oregon.

Bill is charged with setting fire to a National Wildlife Research Laboratory on June 21, 1998. He is also facing 5-20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He is being held in Flagstaff until a hearing on the 16th, in which he faces extradition to Washington.

While Bill has been active in the Save the Peaks coalition, his arrest is not directly related to Flagstaff police action in high schools yesterday. the Youth of the Peaks will be holding a press conference this afternoon.

Help will be needed to support Sarah, Bill and the Catalyst infoshop. More information will be posted about how individuals and communities can be of support at this critical time.
