Hundreds of students and protesters set up a Pro-Palestinian camp-in demonstration in the center of UCLA’s campus.
The camp-in was built early Thursday morning and was enclosed by fortified walls. The large group was protesting the Israel-Hamas war."We are here because we have a set of demands, including the divestment with our university, UCLA ," said Marie Salem a student and organizer.Organizers from Students for Justice in Palestine and the UC Divest Coalition at UCLA set up the camp-in demonstration. The camp includes a media check-in, medical tent, and a library.
"Late Thursday afternoon, the demonstrators decided to expand their camping area across the quad. FOX 11 was standing in the area when protesters took over. All media was told they couldn’t record and needed to leave the camp area. No recording was allowed except outside the wooden walls surrounding the camp.Some demonstrators could be seen pulling material from a nearby bin on campus to carry material over to the camp and increase the size.
