Nicholas Cooney has been arrested once again. He was involved in a legal protest outside Glaxo Smith Kline's King of Prussia, PA facility and taken in for an outstanding warrant in Ocean County, NJ. He is currently being held in the Upper Merrion, PA jail, but will be extradited to NJ at an undetermined time, probably during the weekend.

Please make some polite but firm phone calls to the jail to request vegan food for Nick and to inquire about his well-being. The phone number there is 610 265-3232.

After Nick is extradited (an email will go out under separate cover), he will be transferred to the Ocean County Correctional Facility in Tom's River, NJ. After he has been transferred, the phone number for jail support calls will be 732 929-2043.

Nick's codefendant, Janice Angelillo, has agreed to surrender herself on Monday morning. Her bail has been set at $10,000 with no option to pay 10% or to post a bond.

Immediate cash donations are needed to pay for bail and prevent Nicholas and Janice from rotting in jail while they await their court dates. Both are excellent and dedicated activists. Please give whatever you can.

As we always say at demos:

When innocent activists are under attack, what do we do?

ACT UP, FIGHT BACK!

_______________________
LATEST UPDATE:
Nick and Janice have had their bail posted following an intial hearing in New Jersey courts. Their case has been remanded to Municipal Court. We are awaiting their release.
_______________________

Activists Janice Angelillo and Nick Cooney have been held in New Jersey for more than 48 hours under $15, 000 and $20, 000 bail respectively. They are being charged with an assortment of crimes including tresspass, vandalism and conspiracy. In addition, Janice Angelillo's home has been raided by the FBI/JTTF. It is believed they are being targeted for political reasons. Janice is the treasurer of the Central New Jersey Industrial Workers of the World and an avid animal rights activist. She is presently being held in Essex County Prison. She was not given her phone call until two days after being arrested.

At approximately 6:30pm (July 23), police arrived at her house in Highland Park, NJ and detained all the people in the house - Janice's husband Ted, another housemate, and a few friends who were with them. According to Ted, they have currently were detained for several hours by officers from New Jersey Joint Terrorism Task Force, brandishing automatic weapons and other firearms. This is being sent out by the request of the people currently being detained.

Sean White, an activist that was at the house working to raise bail money for Janice and Nick, reports the raid occured sometime around 6:30pm a warrant for this action was NOT signed by a judge until 11:15. They did not take anything until the warrant arrived, around 1am. A number of activists and friends from Animal Rights groups, the IWW, the Socialist Party, and others were detained all of that time. Searches were carried out on their cars and property also. We are concerned there will be further raids.

"I was one of the people detained, and it needed to be pointed out that the officers, notably the heavily-armed goon squad that stormed the house, did not have a warrant to enter. The warrant was not issued until later that evening. We were detained at 7:15 PM and did not get released until approximately four hours later." -- Daryle Lamont Jenkins: Anti-Racist activist with One Peoples Project, NJ. http://www.onepeoplesproject.com/

As of 1PM Sunday afternoon (July 24), Janice and Nick are still being held in the Essex County Jail. Attempts to bond them out yesterday failed, as the State is refusing bond and demanding the full cash bail be paid.

You can Western Union to Janice's husband. You will need his full name and city the money is being picked up in: Robert Nebus, New Brunswick, NJ. Please call Ted and let him know you sent money, and the amount. If you want to donate money a different way, or provide something else, you can also call him. His number is 732-485-8520.

SPNJ Statement on the NJJTTF Raid on a Home in Highland Park

The Socialist Party of New Jersey condemns the heavy-handed actions of the
NJ Joint Terrorism Taskforce in their raid of a Highland Park House this
pastweekend.

Using the excuse of "anti-terrorism", the NJ Joint Terrorism Taskforce
raided the home of labor and animal rights activist Janice Angelillo after
she was arrested for spray painting, detaining labor activists in town for
a labor training, completely unconnected to the spray painting incident.

The Socialist Party of New Jersey calls for the repeal of the USA Patriot
Act and any national, state of local "special powers" used under the guise
of "anti-terrorism", especially when used by the government to target
human rights, environmental rights and animal rights activists.
