Six people who are facing misdemeanor charges for shutting down the I-5 freeway in Seattle back in January have pleaded not guilty.
On April 19, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office announced that six people were charged in connection to a pro-Palestine protest on January 6, 2024, that blocked traffic on I-5 for five hours.All six defendants are charged with disorderly conduct, with five also facing an additional second-degree trespassing charge.The Washington State Patrol originally referred charges for 12 protesters back in February.
The announcement of these charges came just after another pro-Palestine protest that blocked the expressway of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In that protest, 46 people were arrested, booked, and released.This also comes as a pro-Palestine demonstration grows on the University of Washington campus.Those charged with second-degree trespass could face up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
