One person is in police custody on Tuesday for failing to disperse during an hourslong pro-Palestinian protest at UCLA involving at least 40 people.
The demonstrators gathered in Dickson Court North on Monday for what was billed as a “teach-in on divestment,” where they used unauthorized structures and assembled in areas not designated for public expression. The demonstrators arrived around 8:45 a.m. Monday, where they obstructed student pathways, according to the UCLA Police Department.
According to the Daily Bruin, the school's newspaper, the protest began around 11:45 a.m., when protesters chanted, “UC, UC, you can't hide, we charge you with apartheid.
Security officers on bicycles attempted to remove a sign hung outside of Perloff Hall around 5:09 p.m., which read,"UCPD is Fascist. Abolition Now,” agitating protesters who pushed and shoved the officers. The UCLA Police Department issued a dispersal order shortly after 8:30 p.m. The majority of the demonstrators had left, with several remaining in the area at 9 p.m. One person was taken into custody for failing to disperse.
