San Francisco: Tibetan freedom protesters charged, released

The three protestors who unfurled banners protesting China on the Golden Gate Bridge have been charged with three misdemeanors released from jail. Four others who remained on the bridge deck were released without being charged.

The charges include climbing on a bridge without authority, creating a public nuisance, and resisting arrest, and carry penalties of up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine.

The group grabbed the nation’s attention Monday when they unfurled two banners in support of Tibetan autonomy.
