Biography

Adam Kokesh is a Marine veteran and antiwar activist who later organized libertarian civil-disobedience actions. In 2013 he spent approximately four months in US custody following a firearm protest in Washington, DC. This detention concerned his Freedom Plaza shotgun demonstration and associated criminal proceedings, rather than an antiwar demonstration.
