SAN FRANCISCO β Five activists who refused to eat for 17 days, along with hundreds of their supporters, plan to hold a general strike Monday at City Hall in their continued call for the removal of San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr.
The five ended their hunger strike Saturday after they were hospitalized for deteriorating health.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1WVqgt8 ) the protest comes one day after 33 people were cited inside City Hall for allegedly trespassing and failing to follow dispersal orders. Organizers urged people to refrain from going to work or school and join them at the picket line beginning at 8 a.m., the newspaper reported.
The group named the Frisco Five started the hunger strike April 21 to protest two shooting deaths of minorities by police and the revelations that officers exchanged racist and homophobic text messages.
