San Francisco Prosecutors Charge 80 Protesters for Blocking Bay Bridge

San Francisco prosecutors have started charging 80 protesters who blocked the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge last month while demanding a cease-fire in Gaza. The protesters, who held signs calling for a cease-fire and the dropping of charges, face charges including false imprisonment and unlawful public assembly. Similar protests calling for a cease-fire have occurred in other cities across the United States. The war between Israel and Hamas, which had a temporary cease-fire brokered by Qatar, resumed on December 1 after talks to extend the truce collapsed.
