Activists Who Held Peaceful Anti-Nuclear Protest in Georgia Sentenced to Over One Year in Prison
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two anti-nuclear activists were sentenced to over a year in prison
Thursday for breaking into the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in
Georgia. Carmen Trotta and Clare Grady are both members of the Kings Bay
Plowshares 7, which broke into the base in 2018 armed with hammers,
crime scene tape, baby bottles containing their own blood, and an
indictment charging the U.S. government with crimes against peace.
