4/1/01: On Thursday, April 5th, Indiana pre-trial hearings will begin for Frank Ambrose over his alleged involvement in Earth Liberation Front (ELF) tree spiking. The first person in North America officially charged with an ELF action, Ambrose maintains his innocence and believes that the F.B.I. and State authorities are framing him in their hunt for a conviction against underground ELF. Demonstrations will be held in solidarity with Ambrose, ELF, and against state repression.
