The Orange County District Attorney’s Office has charged 49 people with misdemeanors for failing to disperse during a pro-Palestinian protest at UC Irvine in May.
Amr Shabaik, who is the legal director at CAIR-LA, was along several dozen supporters who packed the courtroom Wednesday. “I think it was meant to intimidate,” said Haley, who said the university has not disciplined him in any way. He called the district's decision to charge them a political one. “We encourage protestors to exercise their right to peaceful assembly on any issue,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. “However, criminal activity which transcends peaceful assembly will not be tolerated.”
