Israel-Hamas War | Police clear pro-Palestine, anti-war UCLA encampment |
|
Police have forcibly cleared a pro-Palestinian anti-war solidarity encampment at the University of California-Los-Angeles, breaking down barricades and arresting dozens who refused to disperse. Law enforcement, kitted in riot-gear, moved in on the encampment in the early hours of Thursday morning on the U.S. West Coast after an hours-long standoff in which they threatened people who refused to leave the encampment with arrest. This latest development comes a day after the encampment was attacked by a pro-Israeli group in some of the worst violence seen since student solidarity protests began on campuses around the United States.
