I spoke with Sean from Daniel's support committee, who shared with us the story of Daniel's arrest, charges, and legal battle, as well as the larger context of the Green Scare and the targeting and jailing of other ecological and animal liberation activists. Daniel is one of 17 people swept up in what has become known as the Green Scare, and is pleading Not Guilty to the charges levelled against him, which include arson and conspiracy. The mandatory minimum sentencing for Daniel, if found guilty, is Life in prison. There would be no chance of parole. You can find out more at the website for Daniel McGowan's Support Committee.
