University of Virginia police arrested 25 anti-Israel protesters on Saturday while trying to clear out an illegal encampment on the campus.
At least 25 anti-Israel protesters were arrested at the University of Virginia campus Saturday as authorities tried to clear an encampment, the school said. The University Police Department declared an 'unlawful assembly' earlier in the day and UVA Police Chief Tim Longo gave a group of anti-Israel protesters near the University Chapel in Charlottesville 10 minutes to leave the area. At 8:15 a.m.
Unfortunately, a small group today made a choice to willingly break the rules after being given many opportunities to comply, and they then refused to leave the site voluntarily,' Ryan said. 'I sincerely wish it were otherwise, but this repeated and intentional refusal to comply with reasonable rules intended to secure the safety, operations, and rights of the entire university community left us with no other choice than to uphold the neutral application and enforcement of those rules.
