Dutch riot police clashed with barricaded protesters at the University of Amsterdam on Wednesday, while police in several U.S. cities arrested scores of demonstrators and dismantled encampments overnight at universities, as student-led protests against Israel's war in Gaza continued roiling campuses across both continents.
Item 1 of 6 Protesters block an encampment entrance following Turning Point USA founder and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s speech on campus near a protest encampment of supporters of Palestinians in Gaza, during the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, U.S. May 7, 2024.
At George Washington University in Washington, D.C., the Metropolitan Police Department said it had arrested 33 people, including some for allegedly assaulting a police officer. Video showed officers took down tents and deployed pepper spray and cleared demonstrators from campus and the surrounding streets, a few blocks away from the White House.
At the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, police arrested more than 130 people and removed an encampment after the school's chancellor, Javier Reyes, said he had summoned police "as a last resort."The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union criticized the move, saying "calling heavily armed police on student political expression is an inherently dangerous choice.
