Defendants claim 'people's victory' after Iowa plant protest
Twelve members of Iowa Mobilization for Survival were found not guilty of criminal trespass for the March 24 demonstration at the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Palo. The defense argued the plant posed an immediate threat, while the state contended the issue was crossing a property line after warnings. The group plans further actions, including rallies at uranium sites and future demonstrations at Davenport and other plants.
