A growing number of protest tents were going up on the UC Berkeley campus Tuesday as Cal students joined the growing wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations taking place at schools across the country.
"I believe it’s one of the most noble acts to stand on the right side of justice and to speak out against genocide, but it is also one of the most bare minimum things we can do," law student Malak Agenah said. Students said they were inspired by the protests at Columbia University, where 100 protesters were arrested last week. Similar protests have been taking place at other universities."I expect the school perhaps within 24 or 48 hours to give us notice of the charges, of the student conduct charges, they could hold against us," Agenah said."And when we refuse to leave, which we will, they’ll likely call UCPD and Berkeley PD.
"We’ve heard what their demands are," he said."There are no plans to change our investment strategies, policies or practices."
