Earth First! vs. FBI: Civil Rights Lawsuit in Court
The first FBI scandal of the 1990's was the false arrest and illegal frame-up of nonviolent Earth First! activists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney, after they were car-bombed in Oakland. A federal civil rights lawsuit against the FBI and Oakland Police filed in 1991 comes to trial on October 1, 2001. But you wont find this case, or any of the well-documented examples of FBI abuses against political activists, on the agenda for reformers on Capitol Hill.
