point of sanctuary is to try to
protact refugees and to prevent
deportation and mistreatment of
them.
Cadbury compared the sanc
tuary movement to the civil
rights movement of the 1950s.
“The courts' decisions then
about what was legal or illegal
were wrong." he said, referring
to decisions regarding the
legality of blacks sitting in the
front of buses or eating in cer
tain restaurants. "The govern
ment is saying we’re breaking
certain laws and we're saying
those laws are wrong," he said
"It's deer to us that they're
wrong. The law that really ap
plies has been excluded from
consideration," he said. Cad
bury cited the international law
of the Genova conventions that
says refugees fleeing persecu
tion should not la- returned to
their homelands.
The prosecution in the
Arizona trial maintained that
the defendants violated ll.S.
immigration laws by helping
people who came to this coun
t r y only for tcon o m i c
betterment.
Hut the; defendants claimed
they lawfully aided people who
were fleeing persecution in
their homelands.
After a trial that lasted almost
six weeks, the jury deliberated
more than 47 hours before retur
ning a verdict finding eight of
the 11 defendants guilty.
The defendants included a
Presbyterian minister, two
Roman Catholic priests, a nun
and seven church layworkors.
Defendants found guilty of
felony conspiracy charges may
face as much as five years im
prisonment and a $10,000 fine
each. Those found guilty on
other felony counts face the
same prison terms and $2,000
fines.
The Eugene sanctuary move
ment includes the Central
Presbyterian Church, the
Unitarian Church of Eugene and
Eugene Friends Meeting.
