17 people were arrested in three separate anti-coal protests in West Virginia on May 23.  In the first, eight people were arrested for hanging a “Never Again” banner and locking down to a dump truck at a mountaintop removal mine on Kayford Mountain. In the second, two were arrested for boating onto the Brushy Fork impoundment pond and floating a banner on it reading, “No More Toxic Sludge.” In the last protest, seven people were arrested for attempting to enter Massey Energy’s Marfork mining complex.
