San Francisco Charges 26 Protesters for Golden Gate Bridge Blockade

Demonstrators face multiple charges after April protest demanding Gaza cease-fire halted traffic for hours.

Protesters blocked the Golden Gate Bridge to call for an end to military aid to Israel and a cease-fire in Gaza.
The San Francisco District Attorney charged them with conspiracy, false imprisonment, and other offenses.
The blockade trapped hundreds of motorists, causing significant disruptions and safety concerns.
Public defenders argue the charges are an overreach and seek their dismissal.
Previous similar protests led to dropped charges and community service requirements.
