In a recent incident at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, three pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested for disrupting an Easter Vigil Mass. The individuals unfurled a banner and shouted 'Free Palestine!' during the service, leading to their arrest for disruption of a religious service.
The protesters, identified as Gregory Schwedock, John Rozendaal, and Matthew Menzies, were taken into custody at the scene without incident. Video footage captured the moment when the banner with the message 'Silence = Death' was displayed near the altar, causing a brief disruption during the service led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
