Pro-Palestinian protesters set up tent encampment outside Los Angeles City Hall
Pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment in front of Los Angeles City Hall overnight.
About 50 protesters with 20 tents were seen lined up on the sidewalks outside the building at Main and First streets, KABC-TV reports. Several tents had Palestinian flags and phrases such as “Free Palestine” and “Free Gaza.”
The Los Angeles Police Department says it is monitoring the non-permitted demonstration and urges people to keep an eye out for others on the street.
No arrests and no injuries have been reported. The police department went on an area-wide tactical alert out of an abundance of caution.
