Police again storm pro-Palestinian protest at University of Geneva

GENEVA

Police stormed a pro-Palestinian protest Tuesday at the University of Geneva and removed all Palestinian flags and banners on campus.

Students launched a new demonstration on campus after police broke up a previous protest camp last week.

Protesting students decided to stage a new rally in solidarity with the Gaza Strip after no progress was made in negotiations with the university’s management.

About 100 students first saw intervention by university security Tuesday afternoon but they continued their protest.

Police later stormed the campus.

Students are demanding the school recognize the "genocide" in Gaza and they want an academic boycott against Israeli institutions.
