Symbolic damage
lundi 19 octobre 2020 à 02:00The US has sentenced protesters against nuclear weapons to years in prison for the symbolic "damage" that they did on a missile base.
I wonder what could possibly justify keeping them jailed for years awaiting trial. There was no chance they would fail to show up for the trial, if physically capable of doing so. It would have been right and proper to release them in their own recognizance.
