Freedom Bridge, Fort Lewis, Washington

Protesters gathered to demand the freedom of Travis Bishop and Leo Church, who are reportedly being held under abusive condition in a military prison on the Fort Lewis Army Base. Fort Lewis, which is located in between the cities of Olympia and Tacoma, in Washington State, is one of the USA's largest Army bases in terms of working personnel.
