Approximately 10 students barricaded themselves in the building while some 50 others linked arms outside, The Stanford Daily reports. The university says law enforcement officers quickly removed them and made multiple arrests.
The takeover began near dawn on the last day of classes for the spring quarter. Some protesters barricaded themselves inside while others linked arms outside, The Stanford Daily says. The group chanted “Palestine will be free, we will free Palestine.”
Within about two hours officers had broken into the building and began taking people into custody.
