A series of emails have come in this week from Fellowship of Reconciliation members across the country regarding various court trials of peace activists. Here follow three examples. First, this Monday, 11 nonviolent activists were sentenced in Georgia for their role in "crossing the line" at the School of the Americas protest last November. Le Anne Clausen -- a member of FOR's December 2007 peace delegation to Iran, and the director of Seminary Action based in Chicago -- was sentenced to 30 days in jail for her participation in the SOA action.
