An 89-year-old survivor of a concentration camp, Eva Edl, was found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act three months ago. Edl had participated in nonviolent civil disobedience at an abortion clinic. The Biden-Harris Department of Justice is seeking the maximum penalty of up to three years in prison. 

Last month, Bevelyn Williams, a 33-year-old black mother of a 2-year-old girl, began serving a three-year prison sentence for violating the FACE Act.
