Police have begun dismantling a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Police early Friday have begun dismantling a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. People were being detained and video showed police roaming through the encampment. Organizers said only about 10 people were inside the camp, but a crowd outside the camp began gathering and chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. Tensions have ratcheted up in standoffs with protesters on campuses across the United States and increasingly in Europe.
The move at MIT comes several days after police first attempted to clear the encampment only to see protesters storm past barriers and restore the encampment, which includes about a dozen tents in the heart of the campus in Cambridge. Before removing the encampment, MIT had also started suspending dozens of students involved in the encampment, meaning they wouldn’t be able to take part in academic activities nor commencement.
