Police block anti-war activists Cindy Sheehan (L) of the US, whose son Casey was killed during combat in Iraq in April 2004, and Medea Benjamin (R), the founding director of Code Pink, as they try to enter the headquarters of US Forces Korea (USFK) to meet the USFK head in Seoul. A group of US peace activists led by Sheehan staged a protest outside the headquarters base of US troops, urging a halt to the relocation of US military bases in South Korea.

AP: Sheehan among 4 convicted of trespassing

Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and three other women were convicted of trespassing Monday for trying to delivery an anti-Iraq war petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and refusing to leave.

A Manhattan Criminal Court judge sentenced them immediately to conditional discharge, which means they could face some form of penalty if they are arrested in the next six months, and ordered them to pay $95 in court surcharges.

Sheehan and about 100 other members of a group called Global Exchange were rebuffed last March when they attempted to take a petition with some 72,000 signatures to the U.S. Mission’s headquarters across a street from the United Nations.

Prosecutors said they were arrested after ignoring police orders to disperse.
