At least 40 people have been arrested in New Haven, Connecticut, after the third night of pro-Palestinian protesters’ encampment at Yale University, according to Yale Daily News.
The protesters were holding an encampment at Beinecke Plaza on Yale’s campus, demanding the university divest from military weapons manufacturers. On Monday morning, police with riot gear were called to the university, and as of 8 a.m., police arrested at least 40 people, charging them with trespassing, and dismantled multiple tents. Yale Police Chief Anthony Campbell said protesters were given a warning Sunday at 11 p.m. and again Monday at 7 a.m. to leave the area or face arrest.
