Corsair Coverage: Six days into the UCLA encampment organized by Students for Justice in Palestine, arrests were made early this morning following multiple dispersal warnings issued by law enforcement. The encampment, which began last Thursday morning in front of UCLA’s Royce Hall, prompted UCLA Chancellor Gene Block to label it an unlawful assembly after confrontations between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters became violent on Tuesday. Around 1:20 a.m. Thursday morning, LAPD law enforcement officers entered Dickson Plaza. Hundreds of officers were present on the scene. Around 130 to 150 protesters, including faculty and students, were arrested and charged with trespassing. Despite the arrests, dozens of protesters continued to show support for the encampment and those detained, remaining gathered on Janss Steps and the surrounding hill into the morning.
