This week’s Earth Segment on KPFK Los Angeles’ Sojourner Truth show with Margaret Prescod features an interview with Global Justice Ecology Project Executive Director Anne Petermann discussing the recent sentence handed down against two spokespeople from Climate Justice Action, the international alliance that organized the Reclaim Power protest at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.  For allegedly shouting “push!” during the protest, Stine Gry Jonassen and Tannie Nyboe were sentenced to two months in jail and two months probation plus have to repay court fees totaling over 25,000 euros.

To listen to the interview, go to the following link.  The interview starts at 7:52 minutes.
