Arrests made after pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupt University of Michigan celebration

Police arrested multiple anti-Israel activists at a “die-in” demonstration during a University of Michigan event this week.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators staged a demonstration during the university’s annual “Festifall” celebration, a student organization fair held at the beginning of each fall semester. Over 50 protesters who lay on the ground and pretended to be dead to illustrate deaths in Gaza were ultimately asked to disband.
