Six Fined for Protest Outside Sununu’s Home File Lawsuit

Six protesters fined $100 for picketing outside of Governor Chris Sununu’s residence in Newfields at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic have filed a civil lawsuit against three police officers involved in issuing the citations.

The lawsuit filed in Hillsborough Superior Court South claims ‘retaliatory and malicious prosecution,’ in violation of state and federal laws, and seeks damages for emotional distress, humiliation, and fees and costs for their criminal defense.
