American police forcefully evacuate a sit-in camp held by students at George Washington University in solidarity with Gaza

featureInternational News
Washington-(ST) The American police forcefully evacuated a camp in solidarity with the Palestinian people at George Washington University in the American capital, and detained dozens of students who had been demonstrating for days in protest against the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of police officers stormed the university square, detained dozens of students, used pepper spray against them, and dismantled the sit-in tents.
American media reported that Republican members of Congress pressured local authorities to dismantle the camp, and summoned the mayor of Washington and the city’s police chief to testify in the House of Representatives yesterday about why they waited more than a week to evacuate the camp.
Protests have erupted in several universities across the United States in recent weeks, demanding an end to the Israeli massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza Strip and the severing of direct or indirect financial relations with the Israeli occupation entity and American arms manufacturing companies.
Last Monday, Columbia University canceled its main graduation ceremony to punish the protesting students, and at least 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested last week.
