Police
detained several people Thursday at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
after demonstrators blocked a parking garage in their ongoing protest movement
connected to the Israel-Hamas war.
Tensions
have ratcheted up in standoffs with protesters on campuses across the United
States and increasingly in Europe. Some colleges cracked down immediately,
while others have tolerated the demonstrations. Some have begun to lose
patience and call in the police over concerns about disruptions to campus life
and safety.
In
Boston, the U.S. city most identified with higher education, students have set
up encampments on at least five campuses, including MIT, Northeastern
University, and Harvard University.
At
MIT, protesters have been asking administrators to end all research contracts
with Israel's Ministry of Defense, which they estimate total $11 million since
2015. On Thursday, the school issued an alert just before 2 p.m. saying
protesters were blocking the entrance to a campus parking garage and spilling
onto a nearby street.
About
two hours later, authorities split protesters up and pushed them away from the
garage. At least three people were detained. Protesters walked away continuing
to chant "free Palestine." The crowd dispersed, and the garage was
reopened by 5 p.m., the school said.
MIT
officials said later Thursday that fewer than 10 people were arrested by MIT
police during the incident and the Stata Garage and Vassar Street are now open.
Cambridge Police were also on hand to help clear the garage entrance, officials
said.
Hannah
Didehbani, an MIT student and one of the leaders of the protest, said the
decision to block the garage was part of a larger effort to bring attention to
what she described as MIT's complicity with the Israeli military. Didehbani
said she has been issued a suspension and an eviction notice by the school but
said MIT cannot suspend the larger student movement.
"They'd
much rather do those things than cut ties to a state that is currently enacting
a genocide," she said.
The
pro-Palestinian protest movement began nearly three weeks ago at Columbia
University in
New York City. It has since swept college campuses nationwide, with more than
2,500 people arrested.
