Following Columbia’s lead, students across the US are demanding ceasefire and divestment – and hundreds have been arrested
At least 40 pro-Palestine protest camps have arisen across US campuses following Columbia University’s example earlier this month.
While many remain provocative though peaceful, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and divestment by their institutions from companies with ties to Israel, hundreds of students and outside protesters have been arrested, and there have been some fierce clashes with police.
