Daniel McGowan was one of six environmental activists arrested last week in a series of
coordinated raids across four states. He is accused of setting a pair of arsons in Oregon in
2001 and is being held without bail.
Bail has been denied to all six environmental
activists arrested last week in a series of coordinated raids in New York, Virginia, Arizona and Oregon. The activists have been accused of setting a series of arsons in the Pacific Northwest between 1998 and 2001.
Daniel McGowan of New York and Stanislas Meyerhoff of Virginia are facing up to life in
prison. They are accused of setting fires in 2001 at a lumber company and an experimental tree farm
in Oregon. No one was injured in the blazes.
They are facing the most serious charges ever filed against environmental activists for
allegedly taking part in such a direct action.
The four others arrested face between 20 and 25 years in prison for allegedly setting other
fires. They are Chelsea Gerlach of Portland, Oregon. Kevin Tubbs of Oregon, Bill Rodgers of
Prescott Arizona and Sarah Harvey of Flagstaff Arizona.
