Press release date 4/30/2010. While not mentioned in the PR, the penalties for a first time violation of FACE by non-violent offenders of the law can be six months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Press release from: The Order of Mercy at Gethsemane
In affiliation with the Order of Mercy at Gethsemane (OMG), two rescuers
sought to prevent the mass murder that obtains almost daily at the
Planned Parenthood extermination camp on Bleecker Street in New York
City. The rescue took place on December 12 last year, the feast of our
Lady of Guadalupe.
Illegally - since the State has no right to protect crimes against
humanity - the Guadalupe rescuers were arrested, and an FBI investigation
was able to learn their identities. They were released on their own
recognizance, but on April 27 in a press release lauding Planned
Parenthood, the Justice Department saw them convicted of violating the
illegal and criminal federal statute known as the FACE act.
The rescuers are subject to six months imprisonment and fines. Their
sentencing is scheduled for June 10, whence, if imprisoned as
anticipated, they will begin to absorb some small measure of the
injustice inflicted on the unborn.
Two women, also affiliated with the order, are in jail for the same
reasons in Canada, one of them due to two rescues that took place during
Holy Week this year. Last year there were three rescues at the Bleecker
St. extermination camp.
While these four are in jail, no child will die without a born ally
willing to stand with them. The Order of Mercy accordingly commends them,
and those with whom they stand, to your daily prayers.#####
We will pass along any further information we receive.
God bless them
