Washington, February 13 (RHC)-- Seventeen activists arrested for protesting U.S. drone warfare at a New York air base in 2012 have been found guilty of disorderly conduct, but not guilty of trespassing.

The 17 were detained after creating a blockade outside the Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, holding signs and pictures of children killed by U.S. drone attacks overseas.

The base is used to pilot overseas U.S. drones remotely. The activists were sentenced to the maximum 15 days behind bars, which the judge called a message to encourage the demonstrators to stop their protests.
