Pro-Palestinian Protest Conviction in US 2024

Seven Americans who disrupted traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge during a pro-Palestinian protest in 2024 have been convicted in San Francisco, on misdemeanor charges including unlawful detention and obstruction of traffic. The more serious charge of conspiracy, which could carry a sentence of up to 15 years, has not yet been clarified. Sentencing is scheduled for August, while the protesters face the possibility of up to five years in prison. This comes after widespread protests calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel amid the escalation around Gaza.
