Earth Liberation Front News


Sacramento, California, U.S. - Lauren Weiner, who was arrested on January 13th with two others accused of being part of an Earth Liberation Front cell with her, was granted bail on Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory G. Hollows ordered Eric McDavid and Zachary Jenson, Lauren's co-defendants, be held without bail. However, Judge Hollows said he is willing to release Weiner to the custody of her mother on $1.2 million bail, pending a decision by prosecutors on whether to appeal Weiner's release.

The three, who have all pled not guilty, are not accused of any crimes, only of planning attacks on U.S. Forest Service buildings, the Nimbus Dam on the American River near Sacramento, a cellular telephone tower, a power station, banks, trucks, mountain-top-removal projects in West Virginia, and Communist Party offices.

Before being arrested, Lauren, Eric, and Zachary, were being constantly monitored by the FBI. An FBI operative known as Anna was a key member of the alleged cell, and provided housing for the three in a cabin which, unbeknownst to them, was rented by the FBI and was specially equipped with audio and video surveillance equipment. Anna also wore a concealed wire in order to record conversations with the three. Anna was paid $75,000 plus expenses by the FBI over the course of the two years during which she infiltrated various anarchist groups and events.
