Authorities in the United States have charged 23 people with “domestic terrorism” following the latest round of arrests in a months-long movement against the construction of a sprawling police training facility in a forest in Atlanta, Georgia.
Protest groups have pushed back on the police characterisation of events that led to the arrest of 35 people late Sunday, which came as demonstrators held a festival near the site of the proposed complex — dubbed “Cop City” by opponents, who have sought to end the project since 2021.
