Update as of 4:00pm

from NoPoliticalRepression:

Around 3:00 PM today, Matt was taken to a contempt of court hearing. The judge decided to make the hearing private instead of public. It is our understanding that this action is unprecedented since the McCarthy Era of political witch hunts. The entire 2nd floor of the Federal Court House in Seattle where the grand jury itself was taking place was closed off to the public as well as the 13th floor where the contempt hearings were taking place. As of this writing, Leah has not been taken to her contempt hearing yet.

We are asking for supporters to call Judge Richard Jones in his chambers at 206-370-8870 and demand that the contempt hearings be made public and that Leah and Matt not be charged with contempt and be released.
