Protesters against the war in Gaza who blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in April are facing false imprisonment and other charges, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said on Saturday.
Charges were announced for 26 people, including eight who are facing charges of felony conspiracy and 18 facing misdemeanor conspiracy. Other charges include trespassing, unlawful assembly and failure to obey a uniformed officer, among other charges. Arrest warrants have been filed against the 26 anti-war demonstrators, and they have until Monday to surrender to the California Highway Patrol.
No injuries were reported by Jenkins in connection with the protests, but several issues like missed surgeries and medical appointments, a baby without water for infant formula, and people stuck without bathrooms were just some of the issues people on the bridge faced. "They were held against their will at the mercy of the 26 people involved in this event," said the DA's office.
