Thirteen Black Lives Matter protesters were arrested after the group walked into the southbound Kanes of Interstate 95 and brought evening rush hour traffic to a stand still in the state’s capital of Richmond.

The protesters, who were gathered from across the former Capital of the Confederacy, were chanting, “No Justice, No Peace! No Racist police!”

According to Virginia State Police spokesperson Steve Vick, troopers arrived on scene, told the protesters that being on the interstate was an unlawful assembly and advised them to leave.

Officials said 13 of the protesters refused to exit the interstate and were charged with impeding the flow of traffic and being pedestrians on a highway. They were arrested and taken to the Richmond City Jail.
