Demonstrators protesting the war in Gaza shut down San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge for around five hours Monday, as protests were also held in other cities in the U.S. Demonstrators on the famous bridge held a sign that read “stop the world for Gaza” in capital letters. They used vehicles and chained themselves together to block travel lanes on the bridge, the California Highway Patrol said, adding that around 20 people were arrested.
” In Chicago, around 40 people were arrested at O’Hare International Airport after a group of protesters obstructed traffic, police said. “Stop sending bombs,” read the stop sign-like badges on the chests of protesters who blocked the expressway leading to O’Hare by connecting themselves to each others with pipes over their arms. The group Chicago Dissenters said the protest date was picked to coincide with the April 15 tax filing deadline.
