Urgent ELP! Bulletin (14th of Feb 2008)

Dear friends

ELP has just learnt that two American animal rights activists have been raided and remanded. Please see the below e-mail:

Recently, two California activists were arrested after a raid on their
home by the Los Angeles Police Department. Laura Lungarelli & Kevin
Olliff have been in the custody of the LAPD since Thursday evening. They
were expecting arraignment yesterday (Monday) but it has been postponed
and they have been sent to housing facilities in the area. Little is
known about the situation. Only that they are facing serious charges
(Second Degree Felony Burglary) with bail set at $100,000 and $165,000
respectively.

Recently, two California activists were arrested after a raid on their
home by the Los Angeles Police Department. Laura Lungarelli & Kevin
Olliff have been in the custody of the LAPD since Thursday evening. They
were expecting arraignment yesterday (Monday) but it has been postponed
and they have been sent to housing facilities in the area. Little is
known about the situation. Only that they are facing serious charges
(Second Degree Felony Burglary) with bail set at $100,000 and $165,000
respectively. The charges are not activist related but as Peter Young
suggested "We can always expect there is a political vendetta behind
non-political charges of activists, and that we can never fully draw the
line between what is an "activist related charge" and what is not when
long standing AR activists are charged with non-AR charges. Lets not
forget the charges against Rod Coronado for possession of eagle
feathers, the 18 month sentence for a UT activist for giving incorrect
information on a firearm purchase application, and my multi-count felony
indictment in 2005 for possession of a fake ID."

One thing that can be certain, is that jail is an awful situation to be
in. We cannot be sure how long they will be in these locations, but it
would be both helpful and wise to write them today, in an effort to show
they are being supported by their friends, loved ones, and community at
large.
