Human Rights Award Recipient, Teresa Grady, Sentenced in Federal Court
Teresa Grady, 40, will be receiving a special human rights award tomorrow, Jan 28, in Ithaca, NY, but won’t be able to attend the ceremony in person — she was taken into custody today to serve four months in federal prison. Grady is one of the St. Patrick’s Four and was sentenced for her participation in a symbolic act of non-violent civil disobedience at a military recruiting station outside of Ithaca on March 17, 2003, two days before the invasion of Iraq. Grady was also fined $150 for a contempt of court charge and ordered to pay a quarter of the $958 restitution.
