![PFOC--Press Conference (Prairie Fire)](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
In response to the recent arrests of five revolutionaries in Houston and LA, the PFOC held a press conference in defense of their main captured member Clayton Van Lidograph. In the statement, the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee explains their main objectives of solidarity with oppressed women, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and exploited third world cultures. By any means of revolution, the PFOC will fight against the imperialist government. Just like the unfair legal charges put upon past radicals, their PFOC member and others were arrested and were being charged of terrorism and conspiracy. They explain that these charges are frame-ups and the true terrorists are the government, KKK, and other extreme right-wing organizations. In the media, the PFOC were originally grouped with the Weather Underground. However, this organization does not side with the Weather Underground and their politics. After the statement, reporters badger them with somewhat unanswerable questions.

Leslie Mullin and Judith Bissell, as part of the LA Five arrested for conspiracy to bomb the offices of Senator John Briggs, give a telephone interview from prison. They describe D.A. Jorgenson's strategy of "railroading" the trial date leaving them little time to prepare a defense. They talk of the government's fear of the exposure of FBI misconduct and COINTELPRO during the trial, and the inadequacy of prison law research facilities for women prisoners as compared to those in the men's system.
