Over 130 people have been arrested overnight during the pro-Palestinian protests at the New York University campus. Amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, student demonstrations have significantly increased.
The New York Police Department reported that around 133 individuals were arrested but later released after receiving a court summons. Additionally, protests have intensified at various campuses, including Yale and Columbia University.
As Passover began on Monday night, April 24, police began detaining protesters at an encampment at NYU. A spokesman for New York University stated that police intervention became necessary after several demonstrators breached the barriers after several demonstrators breached the barriers surrounding the encampment. Moreover, it is suspected that many of these additional protestors are not even associated with NYU.
A statement by an NYU spokesperson John Beckman read on its website, “We witnessed disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community, and that demonstrated how quickly a demonstration can get out of control or people can get hurt. At one point, we explained to the protesters that they needed to disband in an hour, and there would be no adverse consequences.”
