Israel National News reports: “At least 25 people were arrested on Tuesday after setting up multiple pro-Palestinian Arab encampments on UCLA’s campus a day earlier that police said were unlawful, CNN reported, citing a statement from the UCLA Police Department.
As a result of the encampments, the group damaged a fountain, spray-painted brick walkways, tampered with fire safety equipment, damaged patio furniture, stripped wire from electrical fixtures and vandalized vehicles, police said in the statement.
On Monday, a group of about 100 people associated with a UCLA registered student organization set up an encampment at the top of the Janss Steps around 3:15 p.m. local time.
The group resisted leaving the area after initial warnings but left after UCPD issued multiple dispersal orders. The protesters relocated to the Kerckhoff patio, where they ‘set up an unauthorized and unlawful encampment with tents, canopies, and barricades with patio furniture,’ police said…”
