Protests Continue At Columbia University Days After Arrests Of Pro-Palestine Students

Police in riot gear are standing guard outside the Columbia University campus in New York City, USA, on April 23, 2024, as pro-Palestine demonstrators are protesting. Students on Columbia's main quad are facing the public street through a locked gate, using megaphones to lead the crowd assembled outside in chants. Campus security has been tight since the ''Gaza Solidarity Encampment'' protest standoff began a week ago. Since only those with university ID -- and members of the media during certain hours of the day -- are allowed on campus, additional groups of protesters from outside the Columbia community are often forming on the public streets abutting the main quad. Tensions remain high days after Columbia University President Nemat ''Minouche'' Shafik called the NYPD onto the college campus on April 18, 2024, to arrest scores of pro-Palestine students who refused to dismantle protest encampments on the main campus quad. The standoff and arrests occurred after President Shafik had faced questions before Congress on campus antisemitism and enforcement of rules against protests. The demonstrators are demanding divestment from Israel in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Gaza War. (Photo by Melissa Bender/NurPhoto)
