Supporters rallied in San Francisco Monday morning for the pro-Palestinian protesters who were recently charged for shutting down traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge last spring.
Dozens gathered outside of the San Francisco jail Monday, playing drums, chanting and waving signs that proclaimed their backing of the 26 protesters charged with false imprisonment of the drivers, trespassing, unlawful assembly and refusal to disperse in connection with the pro-Palestinian demonstration that held up traffic for hours on the Golden Gate Bridge back in April.
CHP that day confirmed 26 people were arrested. However, the protesters were later released as DA Jenkins said charges were not ready to be filed. At the rally Monday morning, supporters called for the charges against those who participated in the demonstration to be dropped. Jenkins is hoping the more serious charges this time will stick.'In this case, we took a great length to work with the CHP There are elevated charges to make sure that we were filing appropriate charges.
