At least 28 people were arrested after anti-Israel protesters set up an encampment at Emory University on April 25.

Fox 5 reported that Emory officials said the protesters were trespassing and refused to leave. University officials asked the Atlanta Police Department and Georgia State Patrol for assistance in clearing the encampment.

In a message to the community in the days after the encampment was cleared, Emory President Gregory L. Fenves said a review of the incident would take place.

 “Let me be clear: I am devastated that members of our community were caught up in law enforcement activity enforcing the removal of the encampment. The videos of these interactions are deeply distressing. I take Thursday’s events very seriously and we are launching a thorough review of them so that we can develop recommendations to improve how we keep our community safe,” Fenves wrote.
