Chico Grandmother Jailed for Protest at Army's "School of Assassins"
Six Activists Sent to Prisons Throughout the Country for Trespassing in November
Cathy Webster, a Chico grandmother, was one of six activists who reported to prisons throughout the country on March 21st for trespassing on the grounds of the U.S. Army's School of the Americas. After having lunch with family and supporters, Cathy Webster of Chico turned herself in at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Facility in Elk Grove to spend 60 days behind bars for a trespassing charge at last November's protest at the U.S. Army's School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. She participated in the annual protest and vigil along with 22,000 others, including 1000 Grandmothers Standing Strong in the annual protest and vigil.
"The soldiers that are trained at the SOA are not defending their country, but are killing civilians for corporate greed and domination," said Webster. "They go back to their countries to kill and torture their own people. The graduates of this school are among the worst human rights violators in Latin America."
