3 Activists to Appear in Court for Anti-Drone Protest 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Three peace activists are appearing in court today following their
arrest last week outside the Hancock Field Air National Guard Base near
Syracuse, New York. The three were among 15 people jailed for protesting
U.S. drone attacks on Thursday, but they remain behind bars for
non-compliance with their sentencing requirements under a conviction for
a previous anti-drone protest earlier this year. During Thursday's
action, the protesters displayed images of young victims of U.S. drone
strikes as they blocked the base's main entrance.
