Riot police storm Columbia campus and drag pro-Palestine protesters away in New York
Police arrested dozens of Palestine protesters at Columbia University on Tuesday night, ending a two-week protest that sparked copycat demonstrations across the world.
The university’s administration called in the New York Police Department (NYPD) after students barricaded themselves inside a building, in echoes of 20th century protests against the Vietnam War and South African apartheid.
Officials said they had “no choice” but to call in reinforcements after Hamilton Hall, a neoclassical building on the university’s Upper East Side, was occupied by students who were calling for the institution to divest from companies linked to Israel.
