Charges Dropped for Sea-Tac Pro-Palestinian Protesters After Community Service Deal
The activists can avoid prosecution by completing 10 hours of community service or maintaining a clean record for three months.
- The April protest blocked a major road to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, delaying up to 24 flights.
- Charges included disorderly conduct and failing to disperse, with penalties up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 fines.
- Nine protesters had their cases dismissed due to a lack of public defenders, while the rest were offered a deal.
- The protest was part of a coordinated national effort calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
- Activists are restricted from Sea-Tac Airport property except for personal travel until charges are resolved.
