14 University of Connecticut students and alumni were arrested at an anti-Israel protest on April 30.
According to NBC Connecticut, students who established the encampment were warned several times to take down the tents, but the protest could continue. Students disobeyed the order to take down the tents four times, which led to police entering the encampment and arresting students.
In a post on Instagram, the Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Connecticut criticized the university’s response to the encampment, claiming, “Instead of supporting students services and university employees, UConn prefers to sic the cops on peaceful protesters for daring to question its ties to the war industry and the genocidal Zionist entity.”
Arrest reports obtained by Accuracy in Media reveal the students and alumni arrested at the encampment.
