Charlottesville torch marchers face criminal charges six years later

Nearly six years after an infamous far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, three demonstrators have been indicted on felony counts.

The men are charged with burning an object with the intent to intimidate.

Hundreds of protesters carrying torches marched at the start of the “Unite the Right” rally in August 2017.

The events brought together far-right and white-nationalist groups. One protester was killed in the violence that followed.
