In Arizona, a Catholic priest and a retired Catholic lay leader have been jailed without bail for taking part in a nonviolent protest against US torture practices outside Fort Huachuca, home of the US Army Intelligence Center and School. A judge ordered Father Jerry Zawada and Betsy Lamb to remain in jail because they had failed to heed orders in other cases. In October, two other Catholic priests, Steve Kelly and Louie Vitale, were sentenced to five months in prison for taking part in another anti-torture protest at Fort Huachuca.
