Fifteen human rights activists were sentenced on Monday for taking part in a protest last November against the Army’s School of the Americas, now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. Most of the activists were sentenced to two or three months in federal prison. One activist received a six-month sentence. Over 200 people have served time in prison over the past decade for engaging in nonviolent resistance against the Army training center that has been linked to many human rights abuses throughout Latin America.
