More than 50 students arrested in protest against Palestinian supporter at Columbia University

More than 50 Pro-Filistini protesters were arrested on Wednesday evening after capturing a reading room at Butler Library of Columbia University, in a protest, in protest, which fulfilled the tension on the Gaza war on American premises.The business began around 3 pm (local time), when masked protesters, wearing several kefheh, in the second floor reading room of the Butler Library came to a storm. The video shared online chanting the students showed that “we have nothing to lose but our chains!” Declaring the region as a “free zone” and changed it to the name of “Basel al-Araj popular university”.Al-Araj was a Palestinian worker killed by Israeli forces in 2017.The protesters draped the banners reading the “strike for Gaza”, standing on the desk using megaphone, and called calling for Colombia to allegedly divide from firms earning profits from Israeli military operations. According to the New York Post, some protesters replaced the walls and tables of the library, while an indication allegedly read “Columbia Will Burn”.University officials initially deployed campus security, warning the students that they could face disciplinary action and arrest if they did not go. But when the protesters refused to show identity and described the “kettle” inside, the deadlock increased. Claire Shipman, President of Abhinak Columbia, then requested NYPD’s intervention.Shipman said in a statement by The New York Times, “It is not the result we wanted to request the presence of NYPD, but it was absolutely necessary to secure the security of our community.”The university said that two public safety officials were injured in the increase in the crowd. The protesters also claimed some injuries, leaving on a stretcher with one, partially covered, with an ice pack on their arm.According to Guardian, NYPD reached the riot gear around 7 pm (local time), entered the library and arrested 75 persons. In the video footage, protesters were led in zip relations and loaded into waiting buses. A message sent to the students at 6 pm (local time) warned that the library was closed and the area should be “cleaned.”New York Mayor Eric Adams called the protest “unacceptable” and was quoted by NBC saying that NYPD worked at a written request from the university. “We will never tolerate anarchy,” he said in a later statement, the protesters who are not associated with Colombia, should face arrest or arrest. Governor Kathy Huchul also said, “Everyone has the right to oppose peacefully. But violence, barbarity or destruction of property is completely unacceptable.,US State Secretary Marco Rubio said that the visa status of international students involved in protest would be reviewed, protesters would be called “Pro-Hamas Thugs” in a statement. Jewish student groups also criticized the protest, a group shared an image of the barbaric library and said it was “unacceptable to kill completely masked strangers in learning institutions.”The protest faces the pressure from the Trump administration to Colombia, which deducts more than $ 400 million in federal research funding due to the alleged failure of the university for the safety of Jewish students. According to the New York Times, the authorities are currently negotiating to restore that fund. The university on Tuesday announced a trimming of around 180 employees, which were roughly affected by the cuts affected by the cuts.The opposition of the Butler Library resonated the Hamilton Hall’s previous spring possession and a widely encroachment movement on American complexes. Since then, Colombia has tightened security, banned masks during demonstrations, and has authorized 36 campus security officers to arrest. According to The Guardian, Colombia’s leadership has seen several changes between the backlash on the alleged compliance of the administration with federal demands that critics argue educational freedom.Columbia University Ryun Divest (CUAD), which organized Wednesday’s action, has criticized for supporting armed resistance. The latest statement of the group called students “to propagate the successes of brave Palestinian armed resistance in weakening Israel and American imperialism.As a final examination approach, university officials have given results. “Our educational activities will not be tolerated,” Shipman said. “This is particularly unacceptable while our students study and prepare for the final exam.”
