Information is sparse, but word is out that another subpoena has been served in the ongoing investigation into the Animal Liberation Front liberation of 401 animals from the University of Iowa. Any more details at this point – such as the name of the person subpoenaed - are unknown. More information will be posted as it is available, but this should be a strong warning that the storm did not die with the indictment of Scott DeMuth (see this post on his indictment) and the FBI remains on the assault.
I think it is important to circulate word of subpoenas immediately, to both give a strong “head up” that the FBI is moving in on the animal liberation movement, and to bring the secretive, witch-hunt ritual of grand juries into the spotlight.
To date, the grand jury has subpoenaed two people that are known of. Both have refused to testify. Carrie Feldman remains held in jail on contempt charges for refusing testimony (read my pre-jail interview with Carrie), and Scott DeMuth was released upon his formal indictment on Animal Enterprise Terrorism charges, believed to be related to the University of Iowa A.L.F. raid.
More information on the recent subpoena will be posted soon.
