Police arrest scores of pro-Palestinian protesters on US university campuses
- Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on a handful of U.S. university campuses on Saturday, as activists vowed to keep up the movement seeking a ceasefire in Israel's war with Hamas among other demands.
"The Indiana University Police Department continues to support peaceful protests on campus that follow university policy," the police statement read. School leaders at several universities have responded in the past week by asking police to clear out camps and arrest those who refuse to leave. While saying they defend free speech rights to protest, the leaders say they will not abide activists infringing on campus policies against hate speech or camping out on university grounds.
At Arizona State University, campus police arrested 69 protesters early Saturday, the school said in a statement.
