Continuing student demonstrations in American universities

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: News sources reported massive demonstrations at the University of Texas, America, in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza and in opposition to Washington's support for the Zionist regime.

 

In addition, news sources also reported the extensive deployment of American police forces at the University of Austin in the state of Texas to deal with pro-Palestinian students.

 

Al Jazeera reported that students from California Irvine and California Riverside began their "open and inclusive" sit-ins against the war in Gaza.

 

The professors of Columbia University in New York also formed a human chain to protect the protesting students supporting the Palestinian nation in Gaza.

 

The American police resorted to pepper spray to disperse the students

The American police resorted to pepper spray to remove the students protesting the Gaza war at the University of Texas from the university campus.

 

The American media reported that the American police resorted to force to disperse the student sit-in in support of Gaza at the University of Virginia.

 

Also, reports indicate that the American police suppressed and arrested a number of activists and students who were organizing demonstrations in support of Palestine in front of Tulane University in New Orleans, USA.

 

The University of Florida also announced that nine people were arrested on campus for what it called law violations during the protests.

 

The wave of pro-Palestinian protests on American university campuses has expanded after the arrest of hundreds of protesters at Columbia University, and after spreading to most universities in this country, it is spreading to universities in other countries around the world.

 

Protests started at Columbia University in New York on April 17, and the protesting students demanded the termination of the university's relationship with the Israeli institutions involved in the Gaza war. Protesters in other universities have similar demands.
