Nun, 84, gets 3 years in jail for N-protest
KONXVILLE (TENNESSEE) (TIP): An 84-year-old nun was sentenced on Tuesday to nearly three years in prison for breaking into a US nuclear weapons complex and defacing a bunker holding bomb-grade uranium, a demonstration that exposed serious security flaws.
Two other activists who broke into the facility with the nun, Megan Rice, were sentenced to over five years in prison, in part, because they had much longer criminal histories of mostly nonviolent civil disobedience.
