Weapons-Manufacturer Protests Brought Different Charges and Outcomes

National Political Prisoner Coalition
Published Oct 22, 2024

Protests at weapons manufacturers formed part of the U.S. response to Israel’s war in Gaza. Demonstrators sought to interrupt production and draw attention to companies supplying military equipment.

The Merrimack Four case in New Hampshire ended in November 2024 with misdemeanor pleas and 60-day jail terms. Its outcome differed from the felony exposure described earlier in the prosecution.

The initial charges, the plea agreement and the time actually served describe different stages of the prosecution. Reporting on these actions needs to keep those distinctions clear.
