U.S. SUPREME COURT
80 Held in Protest Over Guantanamo
Eighty people were arrested at the Supreme Court yesterday in a protest calling for the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be closed.
They were charged with violating an ordinance that prohibits demonstrations of any kind on the court's grounds. Those arrested inside the building also were charged under a provision that makes it a crime to give "a harangue or oration" in the court building. The maximum penalty is 60 days in jail, a fine or both.
