Five Iowa peace activists who were arrested for trespassing in the Des Moines office of Senator Charles Grassley on February 26, 2007 were acquitted Wednesday after a three-day trial.
The Occupation Project activists were found not guilty by a six- member jury despite their admission that they had refused an order by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security officer to leave Sen. Grassley's office. The five argued that they had a First Amendment Constitutional right to have their grievance heard.
In May, a judge dismissed federal charges against the activists of "obstructing a federal office."
