Pro-Palestine protests erupt across US campuses

Pro-Palestinian students in the US are demanding their universities call for an immediate ceasefire and cut all ties with companies that enable Israel’s military operations.

So far, fourteen US universities have seen encampments and protests erupt, including,

Columbia

Last week, pro-Palestinian student protesters set up a tent encampment at the Ivy League university in New York.

On Friday afternoon, the protesting students said they had reached an impasse with administrators and intended to continue their encampment until their demands were met, which included Columbia issuing a public statement calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Northeastern University

Massachusetts State Police said about 102 protesters have been arrested and will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct after clearing an encampment on the campus on Saturday.

Students at the protest have insisted their event was peaceful and, like many across the country, was aimed at drawing attention to the “genocide” in Gaza and their university’s complicity in the war.

California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt

University officials extended the campus closure until May 10 after protesters used furniture, tents, chains, and zip ties to block entrances to an academic and administrative building on Monday.
