‘Irvine 11’ found guilty for heckling Israeli ambassador

A jury has found 10 Muslim students guilty of criminal charges for disrupting a speech given by Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren in 2010 at UC-Irvine.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the students were sentenced to three years of probation, 56 hours of community service and fines. Each was convicted of one misdemeanor count of conspiring to disrupt Oren’s Feb. 8, 2010, speech and a second count for disrupting it. Prior to the charges being filed, the Muslim Student Union at UC-Irvine was suspended for an academic period (a rare organizational suspension by the school).

Below is video from the event when the disruption occurred:
