Activist Nicole Mason, known as the Angry Grandma, leads a Pro-Palestine chant during a rally against the war in Gaza after the University of Minnesota's campus police cleared the Gaza Solidarity Encampment set up by the UMN Divest coalition Tuesday at the University's Northrop Plaza in Minneapolis.
University of Minnesota police arrested nine people after a pro-Palestinian encampment set up overnight on the Northrop Mall on the Twin Cities campus.
Video and photos posted to social media showed student groups pitched tents about 4 a.m. and placed signs aimed at showing "solidarity with the people of Palestine." About two hours later, university police arrived.
"The group was asked to disperse by 7 a.m. and told they would be arrested if they chose to stay past that time," the university said in a statement. "Some of those present chose to disperse and continue peacefully protesting, but nine chose to remain and were arrested without incident."
