Los fiscales de San Francisco comenzaron an acusar an ochenta manifestantes que bloquearon el tránsito durante horas en el puente San Francisco-Oakland Bay mientras solicitaban al presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, una tregua inmediata en Gaza el pasado mes.
Seventeen people appeared in court on Monday to face charges of false imprisonment, refusing to comply with a peace officer, unlawful public assembly, refusing to disperse and obstruction of street, sidewalk or other place open to public. Their arraignments were continued to February.
Hundreds of demonstrators holding signs that read “Biden: Ceasefire Now” and “Free Free Palestine” and “Drop the Charges!” held a news conference outside the court before the arraignments of those charged began.
War erupted between Israel and Hamas on October 7, when some 3,000 terrorists rampaged through southern communities on October 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians massacred amid brutal atrocities, and taking around 240 hostages to Gaza.
San Francisco prosecutors on Monday began charging 80 protesters who last month blocked traffic for hours on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge while demanding US President Joe Biden call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel, backed by Washington, has rejected calls for a ceasefire, saying it would leave Hamas in place to regroup and repeat its assault, putting Israelis at risk.
The war has reverberated through civil society in the US and elsewhere, sparking dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests. Jewish groups and others say some demonstrations include antisemitic rhetoric, including denying Israel’s right to exist.
