Fr. Steve Kelly has continued to be held in jail in Brunswick while the Bureau of Prisons has taken an inordinate amount of time to calculate that he has fulfilled the time for his sentence of 33 months. He is now expecting to be transported in the next week to Tacoma, WA by federal marshals to answer to a probation violation from a prior trespass conviction at the West coast Trident base. We will let people know what happens when we find out. It may take several weeks to bring him to Tacoma.
Patrick O’Neill has been ordered to report to the federal prison camp in Elkton, OH on January 14 for his 14 month sentence. This is more than an 8 hour drive from his home in North Carolina.
On Oct. 24 the historic Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was ratified by the 50th nation necessary for this international law to enter into force. This law making nuclear weapons illegal now takes effect on Jan. 22, 2021, a little more than 75 years after the US dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
