16 Detained in Pro-Palestinian Protests at Oxford University

Pro-Palestinian students at Oxford University in England staged a sit-in protest outside the university’s administrative building yesterday, after their call on the administration to review relations with Israel and demand for a meeting with the university administration was ignored. Later, the crowd entered the building and hung the Palestinian flag and a banner with the their demands on a window. The protest was intervened by US police despite all the protesters’ efforts and 16 students were detained.
