'Take John Bolton to The Hague!': Peace Activists Protest Outside National Security Advisor's Home
One of the participants in the Tuesday action outside Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland home was filmed reading a portion of “The People’s Indictment of John Bolton,” which details his support for overthrowing Venezuela’s elected President Nicolás Maduro by “aiding and abetting” self-declared “Interim President” Juan Guaidó and pressuring the nation’s military “to break alliance with its government and carry out a coup.”
Noting that Bolton backs “the apartheid policies of the far-right extremist government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toward the occupied Palestinians,” the indictment also highlights his key actions on Israel, from vetoing U.N. resolutions targeting Israel while he served as ambassador, to praising Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“In the end, 14 police officers, along with Bolton’s government security detail, kept the 8 CODEPINK protesters from confronting Bolton directly,” according to a statement from the group. “A neighbor, who was encouraged by the police to demand we leave his property, instead agreed to let us stay, saying that he, too, didn’t like John Bolton.”
