Pro-Palestinian protesters convicted of misdemeanour charges in 2024 US protest Seven protesters who blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in a 2024 pro-Palestinian protest against Israel's assault on Gaza were convicted of misdemeanour charges by a San Francisco jury that remained deadlocked on the more serious charge of felony conspiracy. The jury convicted each of the seven protesters on six misdemeanour counts, including false imprisonment, obstruction of a thoroughfare and unlawful assembly, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement on Thursday. One defendant was also convicted of another misdemeanour charge of refusing to disperse, Jenkins said.
