Protesters who blocked the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge during a protest on Nov. 16 to demand Israeli cease-fire will avoid jail time, prosecutors announced.
"This is a victory not only for those exercising their right to protest a genocide being fueled by their tax dollars, but for the growing global movement demanding freedom for the Palestinian people," said Aisha Nizar, one of the protesters. "We emerge from this case even stronger and more united in our commitment to one another and to the people of Palestine."
Approximately 200 total protesters participated in the Nov. 16 protest in San Francisco as the city was hosting President Biden and other world leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
