A San Francisco jury has found seven pro-Palestine activists guilty of multiple misdemeanour charges, including false imprisonment and obstruction, for blocking the Golden Gate Bridge during a 2024 demonstration. The group, identified as Bhavika Anandpura, River Allen, Rocky Chau, Conrad de Jesus, Sarah Ferrell, Em Tillotson, and Sara Cantor, had chained themselves together on April 15, 2024, to protest US military aid to Israel during its conflict in Gaza. The demonstration caused a four-hour standstill on the southbound lanes of the bridge, disrupting around 5,000 vehicles at the toll plaza. Despite securing misdemeanour convictions, the jury remained deadlocked on a felony conspiracy charge, resulting in a mistrial. The defendants face up to five years in county jail for the misdemeanour counts and are scheduled for sentencing in August. This conviction marks the outcome of the "Golden Gate 26" group of activists arrested in 2024 for shutting down the bridge to protest US financial support for Israel's actions in Gaza. The remaining seven chose to go to trial after 19 others accepted pretrial diversion programs, community service, and fines.
