As police crackdown at UCLA, Dartmouth, and elsewhere, protests at Penn over Israel's war in Gaza quietly continue.
As police crackdown at UCLA, Dartmouth, and elsewhere, protests at Penn over Israel's war in Gaza quietly continue.The protesters are calling for Penn to disclose its financial holdings, divest from any investments in the war, and provide amnesty for pro-Palestinian students facing discipline over past protests.
There have been petitions and calls from faculty groups to let the encampment stand and to remove the threat of discipline from student and faculty protesters; Penn said earlier this week that it had initiated disciplinary processes involving some protesters. Police in New Hampshire said they made 90 arrests and took down tents at Dartmouth College Wednesday night.
In a statement, Police Chief Charles B. Dennis said protesters had been warned their tents were not permitted and were told they must disperse multiple times.Police removed barricades and began dismantling a pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ fortified encampment early Thursday at the UCLA campus after hundreds of protesters defied police orders to leave, about 24 hours after counter-protesters attacked a tent encampment on the campus.
The law enforcement action comes after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loud speakers if people did not disperse. Hundreds of people had gathered on campus, both inside a barricaded tent encampment and outside of it in support.
