Wisconsin Probation Violation

In late October, 1987, Nukewatch organizers in Madison, Wisconsin, attempted to expand the Faith and Risistance retreat/direct action concept to incorporate more secular resisters in a deeper probing of the rationale and means of non-violent resistance.

PEACE PARK VIGIL

On January 28, U.S. District Judge Charles Richey in Washington, D.C., sentenced four Peace Park vigilers to jail terms. He acknowledged it will not deter their conduct but hoped that it will deter others from engaging in similar protests. Two other men had been jailed in December for violation of camping and other anti-vigil provisions in Department of Interior regulations.
