PRO-PALESTINIAN RALLY HELD AT U OF M

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators held a rally on the University of Minnesota campus
on Tuesday evening, following the arrest of nine people who set up a
pro-Palestinian encampment on campus earlier in the day.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Nine people were arrested Tuesday morning after a group of
students set up a pro-Palestinian encampment on the University of
Minnesota campus.

Social media posts showed several tents were set up outside Walter Library,
located on the East Bank campus. Police arrived at the scene and appeared to
start taking down signs as students were chanting. The protesters later
dispersed after authorities arrived, and the tents were taken down just before 8
a.m.   





A University of Minnesota spokesperson said the group was asked to disperse by 7
a.m., but nine people chose to stay and were arrested.  

The protest is similar to what has been seen at college campuses across the
country. At campuses like NYU and Yale, protests have led to arrests or canceled
classes. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter was one of more than 100 demonstrators
who were arrested on Thursday at Columbia University during a pro-Palestinian
protest encampment. 



The U of M released the following statement: 

"In light of protests around the country and this morning’s activity on the
University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus, it’s important to note that the U
of M supports and respects free speech through lawful protest. As a public
research university, demonstrations where groups express diverse views and
opinions occur regularly on our campus. We support the rights of all members of
our University community to speak and demonstrate peacefully.

"Early Tuesday morning, the U of M Department of Public Safety received reports
that a group had established an encampment on the north end of the Northrop Mall
on the Twin Cities campus. UMPD arrived shortly after 6 a.m. and informed those
present they were in violation of both University policy and state trespassing
law. Tents are not allowed on any University property for any purpose without a
permit. In addition, Public Safety has not allowed any encampments, tents,
fires, or other types of encampment living arrangements on any University
properties or in buildings. The group was asked to disperse by 7 a.m. and told
they would be arrested if they chose to stay past that time. Some of those
present chose to disperse and continue peacefully protesting, but nine chose to
remain and were arrested without incident."


REP. OMAR JOINS PROTESTERS

In the afternoon hours on Tuesday, protesters returned to the University of
Minnesota, setting up a new encampment outside the Coffman Memorial Union.

Rep. Ilhan Omar joined protesters Tuesday evening, speaking during the rally.

The appearance comes days after Omar's daughter Isra Hirsi was arrested at the
ongoing protests at Columbia University. That same day, Hirsi was also suspended
by Barnard College due to the protests.

As of 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the protest outside the University of Minnesota
remained ongoing.
