Breaking News: Final Four Released

Jessica Eley joyfully reunites with her beloved pup Penny when she was released from West Virginia's Southern Regional Jail, May 26, 2009 at 1:08pm. Eley and three others were released from confinement today after participating in acts of non violent civil disobedience on active coal mining sites in southern West Virginia operated by Massey Energy and Patriot Coal.  The activists were confined over the Memorial Day weekend--their bail was set at an uprecedented and illegal, according to West Virginia code, $2000 cash only per person.   In total, 17 people were arrested on Saturday, May 23, while engaging in three separate acts of non violent civil disobedience on Kayford Mountain, where six people locked down to a giant dump truck; at Brushy Fork Sludge Dump, where two were arrested while deploying a banner on the pond; and seven who crossed the line at the gates of Massey Energy's Marfork complex. All have now been released.  photograph (c) antrim caskey, 2009
