It’s happening in the courts, in the media and of course, on campuses. Last night, dozens of students at Columbia University were arrested and threatened with deportation following the largest pro-Palestinian campus action since last year’s encampment protests. More than 70 students were cuffed and arrested by NYPD police officers after staging a sit-in inside Columbia’s Butler Library. Tamara Turki tells MEE LIVE that they were prevented by campus security from leaving the library unless they agreed to scan their student IDs - while administrators accused the demonstrators of endangering the safety of other students preparing for their final exams.
