Granny Protests Her Way To Jail

Betty Krawczyk, 75, had already been in jail for more than 100 days when she was sentenced Tuesday for contempt of court. The great-grandmother will appeal the sentence. Krawczyk has always refused to accept probation conditions that would restrict her ability to protest against logging. Justice Bruce Harvey said Tuesday the conditions for release were reasonable and compared Krawczyk's confinement to "a self-inflicted wound."

"The defendant has made it clear she will continue with (anti-logging group) Women in the Woods," said Harvey, who said he took the well-known activist's past record and imprisonment into account in making the decision.
