New York Drops Charges Against Peace Activists Arrested at 2019 Drone Protest
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York state, charges have been dismissed against two longtime
peace activists who were arrested in 2019 for blocking the entrance to
Hancock Air Force Base to protest the U.S. drone war program. Over the
past 13 years, about 150 peace activists have been arrested in actions
outside the base as part of a campaign organized by the Upstate Drone
Action Coalition.
