protests against the Navy bombing of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Some began their
jail time when arrested April 27-May 1, while others were tried and sentenced
later in May. More cases are pending that could result in more such sentences,
and Navy bombing of Vieques now set to resume in mid-June will prompt more
resistance arrests. All but the last four listed are serving the sentence
noted at
MDC Guaynabo, POB 2147, San Juan, PR 00922-2147
