Georges Washington University students refuse to clear their Gaza encampment, located half a mile from the White House, despite multiple deadlines imposed by the administration in the past 36 hours.
“GW Police have put up barricades around the perimeter to prevent people from entering or exiting the yard. They woke students up twice last night to intimidate them,” the Student Coalition for Palestine at GWU said, adding some faculty members formed a human chain to protect them.
Students said the administration has threatened to suspend them if their protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continued.
Activists involved in the “Liberated zone” or “Popular University for Gaza at GWU” are demanding the university “drop the charges against pro-Palestine organisers, protect pro-Palestine speech on campus and divest from companies selling weapons to the zionist regime [Israel]“.
