Well, I think some on the petition could genuinely be concerned about the precedent of his arrest in Switzerland, regardless of the crime, in that they could see that as opening the door to political dissidents and the like being arrested in international venues because of arrest warrants in other countries - like a filmmaker who protests their dictatorial government getting arrested in a neutral country because of an arrest warrant from their home country for making that protest.

But I also believe Streep has shown other support for Polanski, so I don't think that would be her only motive.

Like you said, defending a child rapist is incomprehensible and the only thing that even sort of makes sense it that they were grossly misinformed.

Streep in particular is weird, especially since (IIRC) she's been supportive of #MeToo and criticized Weinstein in particular. I don't understand why she would be harshly critical of Weinstein and supportive of Polanski, given that they're both awful and both committed rape.
