San Francisco prosecutors have charged 26 protesters who blocked the Golden Gate Bridge for hours in April to demand a cease-fire in Gaza. The protest on April 15 was part of a series of demonstrations held by pro-Palestinian activists across the country.

The protesters face charges including felony conspiracy, false imprisonment, trespassing, obstruction of a thoroughfare, and failure to obey lawful orders. The demonstration caused significant traffic disruptions, with vehicles blocking lanes and shutting down all traffic on the bridge, including pedestrians and cyclists.
