Results for: Gaza Protest
The NYPD arrested over 100 New York University students and faculty members for setting up an encampment on campus in protest against the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The protesters were cuffed and taken to police buses after refusing to leave the encampment despite warnings from the police. Faculty members formed a chain between the cops and the students to shield them and were the first to be arrested. The university had erected metal barriers to prevent the protest from growing but said that protesters not affiliated with the college had breached them.
