Among those convicted is former leader Enrique Tarrio.

Those convicted are accused of trying to block congressional approval of then-President-elect Joe Biden.

Five people stood accused of sedition, but one escaped sentencing.

Tarrio was not in Washington on January 6, but is accused of directing the group's storming.

Sedition is a charge that is less serious than treason, but more serious than the charge of preventing the exercise of authority.

The Proud Boys were formed in 2016 and describe themselves as Western chauvinists romanticizing a traditional, male-dominated Western culture, which some see as a cover for deeper racism. The Proud Boys have been involved in clashes with Black Lives Matters protesters and left-wing activists.
