As schools across the US challenge to halt growing pro-Palestinian marches and outposts on school, more than 200 activists were detained on Saturday at Northeastern University, Arizona State University, Indiana University, and Washington University in St. Louis, according to authorities.
More than 80 arrests were made at Washington University in St. Louis on Saturday night, according to school officials, and the school was closed down. Campus police were also still processing prosecutions, according to the university. Jill Stein, Green Party member for 2024 presidential election, was among those arrested, a spokeswoman said.
Protesters at Northeastern University in Boston earlier in the day had set up an camp there last week that attracted more than 100 followers. Around sun Saturday, authorities began to assault protesters. They said they had arrested 102 demonstrators.
More than 2, 500 yards away, at Arizona State University, college authorities arrested 69 citizens after they set up an illegal camp, school authorities said. According to the school, the protesters were given instructions to separate numerous times.
At Indiana University Bloomington, where school authorities had arrested 33 individuals this past week, college and state authorities arrested 23 more.
At some marches, there were some studies of accidents, but in many cases, the arrests have been quiet, and protesters have usually freely given themselves up when officers moved in.
On Sunday, the White House insisted that pro- Arab protests may remain quiet. We “respect the right of quiet demonstrations,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. However, we vehemently oppose the anti-Semitic speech that has been prevalent recently.
