Police Dismantle Pro-Palestinian Encampment at DePaul University

Police began to dismantle a pro-Palestinian encampment at DePaul University in Chicago on Thursday, May 16, student media said.

Video by Lilly Keller, a student journalist at DePaul, shows officers pulling down tents as protesters chant.

University President Robert Manuel said the action was being taken after “good faith efforts to come to a shared resolution with the DePaul Divestment Coalition were unsuccessful.”

“I have said that we would protect free speech and the ability to dissent until it prevented us from carrying out the operations of our university or threatened the safety of the members of our community. I am deeply saddened to say the encampment has crossed that line,” Manuel said. Credit: Lilly Keller via Storyful
