The four face felony criminal damage to property and misdemeanor reckless conduct charges. Prosecutors said yesterday that Friday's act of protest caused thousands of dollars in damage to the skyscraper.
Greenpeace USA issued a statement calling the charges "grossly inflated" and saying they are an attempt "to chill lawful protest."
The 30-by-9 meter banner had the environmental group's name and the words "resist" and "defend" on it. "Defend" covered a picture of the earth.
Two others face misdemeanor reckless conduct charges.
Greenpeace says they were released last evening.
