This video shows the selective punishment against the Irvine 11, who peacefully exercised their freedom of speech by protesting at Ambassador Michael Oren’s speech at the Univeristy of California, Irvine. It highlights other instances where other student groups and community members disrupted events at UCI but were not arrested or charged.

However, in the case of the Irvine 11, they are currently facing prosecution by the Orange County DA for protesting during a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren.
