Columbia Students Plan New Gaza War Protests
Tap title to read story
Columbia University students plan two protest encampments this week, mirroring last year's demonstrations against the Gaza war. The first, Thursday on the main campus, aims for a brief occupation; the second, Friday at the Manhattanville campus, intends a longer stay, potentially leading to arrests. Organizers, maintaining secrecy with code names and encrypted communication, anticipate police intervention and have prepared legal and safety guidelines for participants. This action follows last year's large-scale protests, federal intervention in university affairs, and the recent arrest of student activists.
