Anti-Mountaintop Removal Activists Held on $100,000 Bail
--------------------------------------------------------



And in West Virginia, two activists are being held on $100,000 bail each
following their arrests protesting mountaintop removal coal mining. The
activists, Emma Kate Martin and Benjamin Bryant, were detained after
blocking the driveway to Massey Energy’s regional headquarters. The
group Climate Ground Zero is calling on Boone County officials to reduce
the bail amount.
