Dutch police arrested about 125 activists as protests that roiled U.S. campuses spread into Europe.
In this image taken from video, police arrest some 125 activists as they broke up a pro-Palestinian demonstration camp at the University of Amsterdam on Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
Photos from the Amsterdam campus Tuesday morning showed tents, banners and food along with piles of cobblestones that had been pulled up from the street.Police said in a statement that they cleared the makeshift camp after the protesters refused repeated orders to leave. In Denmark, students set up a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Copenhagen. About 45 tents were erected on the lawn outside the campus of the Faculty of Social Sciences, known as CSS. The faculty sits in an old municipal hospital in the heart of the Danish capital.
On their Facebook page, members of the activist group Students Against the Occupation said their attempts to talk to the administration over the past two years about withdrawing the school's investments in companies with ties to activities in Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories have been in vain.
