Good Friday Protest Lawrence Livermore National Lab: 26 Detained

LIVERMORE, CA — About 75 people turned out on Good Friday to protest at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, police officials said. Police temporarily detained more than 25 people for unlawful assembly. After being detained, the protesters were released.

The annual protest has happened on Good Friday for more than three decades, as a number of East Bay organizations voice their disagreement with labs involvement with nuclear weapons.

The event slowed traffic along East Avenue, Patterson Pass and Vasco roads.
