12 pro-Palestinian protesters at Stanford face felony charges

A group of pro-Palestinian protesters at Stanford University were charged with felonies Thursday after taking over a campus building last year.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office announced it has charged 12 people, ranging in age from 19-32, with felony vandalism and felony conspiracy to trespass.

The office said the demonstrators did hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage after they broke windows and furniture, splashed fake blood and disabled security cameras during their takeover of the facility.
