MORE THAN A DOZEN ARRESTS AS PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS OCCUPY STANFORD U PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

More than a dozen pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested and a public safety officer was injured on Wednesday at Stanford University, the school said, after they broke into and occupied the office of the president demanding divestment, transparency and amnesty.

Shortly after 8 a.m. local time, about two hours after the protesters said they entered, the building had been cleared and 13 people were arrested, the university said.

There was “extensive damage to the interior and exterior of the building,” which has been shut down for the remainder of the day. The public safety officer was injured after being shoved by protesters interfering with a transport vehicle, according to the university.

Stanford said the “arrested students will be immediately suspended and in case any of them are seniors, they will not be allowed to graduate.”  MORE AT More than a dozen arrests as Pro-Palestinian protesters occupy Stanford University president’s office | CNN
