Police arrest 33 pro-Palestinian protesters at UPenn following governor’s demand

Police officers descended on the University of Pennsylvania campus to clear out an encampment set up for the sake of Palestinians in Gaza.

Police arrested 33 protesters who refused to clear the area even after their belongings and tents had been thrown away early Friday. This came two weeks after the encampment was set up, and school officials claimed to have been in contact with protesters since April 26 to notify everyone involved that they were in violation of campus policies.
