In San Diego, two activists have been jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury. The activists — David Agranoff and Danae Kelley–were jailed on Tuesday. The grand jury is investigating a fire set at an apartment complex two years ago. The government claims individuals connected to the Earth Liberation Front set the blaze. But activists in San Diego have accused the government of using the fire to suppress political activism in the city. A spokesman from the group San Diego Activist Defense Group said, “The fire was an excuse for the FBI to do intelligence work on activist groups.”
