The San Francisco District Attorney's Office offered pre-trial diversion to the defendants charged for their involvement in a pro-Palestine protest on the Bay Bridge to avoid criminal prosecution.Prosecutors said that 78 of the defendants accepted the court's offer, which included completing five hours of community service within two months.Additionally, the defendants are required to pay restitution to a victim who was evacuated from the Bay Bridge.
In the separate legal proceeding involving retired firefighter Masoud Barukzai, he said he wants prosecutors to drop misdemeanor charges of unlawful public assembly and failure to disperse. "I would hope that once they review everything they need to review, they would clearly see that I'm not part of this. There's no evidence that could tie me to something like this," Barukzai told KTVU on Thursday.
