Arrested Utah Activists not being given vegan food!

@ntispeciesist | 07.03.2009 19:22 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Repression | World

Two Local Utah Animal Rights Activists; William "BJ" Viehl and Alex Jason Hall,
were arrested yesterday (Thursday March 5th) for a raid of a South Jordan, UT
mink farm in August, and the attempted raid of a second mink farm in October.
Both are being held in Salt Lake County Metro Jail on charges of Animal
Enterprise Terrorism. See  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/03/423647.html

Today they had an arraignment hearing in which both pleaded "NOT GUILTY".
They are scheduled for a Bail Hearing on Tuesday, as of right now they are both
being held on Felony 3 retainers with NO BAIL.

At this time it looks like each could face up to 6 years in prison and $350,000
in fines if found guilty.

Please send them a letter of support during these first very difficult days
behind bars.

Please remember to not mention the specifics of their case, or anything that
could be used against them in this very precarious pre-trial phase:
