Hundreds Rally at Idaho Capitol to Protest Gov. Stay-Home Order (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hundreds of people staged protest at the Idaho Capitol on Friday afternoon while waving flags and signs against the state government’s stay-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Disobey Idaho protest, hosted by three conservative groups — the Idaho Freedom Foundation, Idaho Second Amendment Alliance and Health Freedom Idaho — advocated for reopening the state for regular business.
Attendees were “encouraged to follow social distancing procedures,” according to a press release from the Idaho Freedom Foundation, but most didn’t. The crowd gathered closely and engaged with a few counter protesters; many were not wearing masks, but were carrying guns.
The groups on hand Friday promised that rallies would continue. Governor Brad Little’s stay-home order runs through April 29.
