Marie Mason<\/a> has possibly set a new World Record: the longest sentence for any environmental prisoner in the United States!<\/em> In The Land of the Free, Marie will be joining almost two-and-a-half million of her fellow citizens held in federal or state prisons<\/a> or in local jails.<\/p>\n

Marie was arrested on March 10, 2008 by federal agents. She was charged with involvement in a December, 1999 arson at a Michigan State University genetics laboratory at Agriculture Hall and a January, 2000 arson of logging equipment in Mesick, Michigan. Both arsons were claimed by the Earth Liberation Front.<\/p>\n

Last month, she was sentenced<\/a> to 21 years and 10 months for her part in the arsons. Her former husband, Frank Ambrose, who became an FBI informant and cooperating defendant, was sentenced to 9 years last October.<\/p>\n

On a sadder note, Xavier Maniguet, one of four French spooks who blew up the Rainbow Warrior<\/em> in Auckland Harbour in July 1985, killing Dutch-Portuguese photographer Fernando Pereira, has died in a plane crash.<\/p>\n

Two agents, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, were later jailed for 10 years for manslaughter.<\/p>\n

However, French lobbying and threats of retaliation against New Zealand agricultural exports to Europe, led to a deal under which they were transferred to Hao Atoll, in French Polynesia, in exchange for reparations payments.<\/p>\n

They returned to France after a short time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
