Following a weekend that saw nearly 100 arrests of protesters at the NATO
summit in Chicago, we speak with National Lawyers Guild attorney Sarah
Gelsomino, who represents one of the five activists charged with
terror-related crimes. Two are accused of attempted possession of
explosives or incendiary devices, and three more are accused of
conspiracy to commit terrorism, material support for terrorism and
possession of explosives. Gelsomino says the so-called "NATO
Three" were set up by government informants who planted the explosives.
"Our clients who are facing the most serious charges of terrorism are
actually in solitary confinement right now, we just learned," Gelsomino
says. "A very top priority this week is to get them out of that
extremely punitive and extremely dangerous condition that they’re in
right now."Video
