Traffic along Interstate 95 South (Interstate 64 East) in Richmond was brought
to a standstill for more than an hour Monday morning as protesters blocked the
roadway near the I-64 interchange.



A group claiming to be part of the protest stated that they were protesting
the siege of Gaza.



The group of at least nine people tied themselves together using chicken wire,
PVC pipes, and two ladders as they blocked all lanes of traffic right near the
Arthur Ashe Boulevard exit.

The protesters claim to be allies acting in solidarity with the Palestinian
Liberation Movement, saying they put their bodies on the line to demand the
U.S. cease funding for the Israeli occupation of Palestine.



"You're dealing with 65-70 mile per hour vehicles; it's amazing that no one
was injured," said Geller. "It was dark when they came out onto the interstate.
They put their lives at risk, as well as the motorists.”
