WASHINGTON April 28. 2024 (Saba) - US police arrested US presidential candidate Jill Stein while she was participating in a pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Washington.
Stein, a Green Party presidential candidate, said on X platform that police also arrested her campaign manager Jason Cole and deputy campaign manager Kelly Merrill-Cayer as they supported a protest against the university's ties to the war on Gaza.
She participated in the protest to support students who had set up a camp and announced that they would not leave until the university implemented several demands, including a boycott of Zionist academic institutions.
Student protests in the United States spread to McGill University, one of Canada's leading universities, to show solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Students at McGill University held a banner reading “We will not allow our university to be an accomplice to genocide,” demanding support for the Palestinian people.
In front of the campus in Montreal, students set up a camp to express their support for Palestine, demanding that their university end its financial investments in companies that support Zionist attacks on Gaza, amid heavy security reinforcements outside the campus's walls.
