IRSN comments on Jeff "Free" Luers resentencing

Comrades, though we are glad to see Free's sentenced reduced, the comrades of the IRSN are outraged by the length of the sentence handed down in this re-sentencing.

The sentence is clearly excessive compared to those handed down in far more serious arson cases and demonstrates the political nature of this prosecution.

We reiterate what we said before, Jeff Luers is a prisoner of war and deserves the respect of revolutionaries as such. All revolutionary activist have an interest in preventing the state from the draconian approach it has taken against environmental protesters.

Adh mor,
Peter Urban
Comrade, IRSN
