Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Of course, this case didn't happen in Ireland. Here, we have a retired school teacher in prison, sentenced to nine months in jail for damaging some bird nets in a protected environment. If only we had some child rapists we could compare her sentence to. I wonder if someone made a bit of a career out of raping, oh I don't know, altar boys or young children in care, what the reaction of the courts would be? Or if we had someone who knew about such crimes but covered them up to protect the rapists, what would their sentence be?
They'd get more than a woman who damaged some nets wouldn't they?
Anyway, good news that an activist is walking out of jail.
The case of Jeff "free" Luers is one of huge injustice. If ever there was an example of a political prison it was Jeff Luers. The capitalist system meated out this insane sentence to him because he dared protect the environment. This was the stuff what we used to hear about in Stalinist USSR and the sending of people to gulags except it happened in the USA.
Jeff's persecution signalled the start of labelling and treating environmentalists as terrorists. Indeed his sentence predated the War of Terror by just a few months and part of the vicious assault on people's rights and freedoms.
This is good news. Glad to hear that a POW is being released because that is what Jeff is. If you are a child rapist you get a lesser sentence than someone who has damaged 3 cars. Thats capitalist "justice".
