Seven protesters who blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge during a 2024 pro-Palestinian demonstration against Israel's military operations in Gaza have been sentenced to 30 days in jail, with credit for time already served, according to Reuters. The group halted vehicle movement across the San Francisco landmark as part of their action opposing the assault on Gaza.
The sentences were structured to allow the protesters to leave immediately given the time they had already spent in custody since their arrests during the bridge blockade. The protest represented one of several demonstrations mounted by pro-Palestinian activists in response to the conflict in Gaza.
