About 100 people were detained today in the student town of a Boston college where demonstrators were gathered in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The police, in riot gear, removed their tented camp and evacuated the students.
During the evacuation, the police detained 100 people, and later released some of them. Those who refused to show their student IDs were taken to the police station.
The movement of pro-Palestinian American protesters has been massive in recent days, after the first such gathering held at Columbia University in New York.
Students protesting the war in the Gaza Strip are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and distance themselves from companies that support the conflict. Some Jewish students say that the protests have turned into anti-Semitism and that they have become afraid to attend university lectures.
