Tim DeChristopher, an American climate activist and co-founder of the environmental group Peaceful Uprising, prevented the Government from acting illegally and was punished for it. He was sentenced to two years in prison and $ 10000 for violating the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act and making false statements. This happened after he was protesting an oil and gas lease auction for rural land in Utah. DeChristopher entered the auction and signed up as a bidder and was arrested right after he won. Now he is in a halfway house in Salt Lake City, Utah after serving one and a half years in prison. DeChristopher can work but when a First Unitarian Church offered him a job, the Federal Bureau of Prisons denied DeChristopher that chance. His lawyer Patrick Shea joins RT's Kristine Frazao for the details. RT America LIVE rt.com Subscribe to RT America!
