Judge Orders Accused Eco Saboteur Dibee To Remain In Jail Until Trial

EUGENE, OR -- Federal Judge Ann Aiken has ordered Joseph Dibee to stay in jail until his trial on environmental sabotage crimes across the West. Late last year Aiken ruled the 52 year old Dibee could stay with his sister in Seattle wearing a GPS monitor. The Oregonian reports in mid-December Aiken’s ruling was overturned by the 9th Circuit Court. The court ruled Aiken did not take into account that Dibee fled the United States in 2005 when he found out he was going to be prosecuted. He is accused of arson, criminal conspiracy and helping with the destruction of the Cavel West meatpacking plant in Redmond in 1997.
