University of Iowa Police Break Up Protesters' Encampment

(Iowa City, IA) -- University of Iowa Police have broken up a pro-Palestinian Anti-Israel encampment at Hubbard Park on campus. Police told the group the encampment violates university policy and asked them to remove tents and items or face arrest. The protesters then built a fence around their camp, using chicken wire, wood pallets, plywood, and corrugated metal. Police took it down, the protesters left, and there were no arrests.

Protesters then posted statements on social media indicating they plan to return.
