More than 30 pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) sued campus officials and several law enforcement agencies, alleging civil rights violations, wrongful arrests and excessive force during demonstrations last year.
A lawsuit filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles superior court outlines the violence and significant injuries that UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment members experienced at the hands of police and counterprotesters from April to June of 2024.
The complaint accuses UCLA, the country’s top-ranked public university, of negligence during counterprotesters’ “brutal mob assault” against the encampment on 30 April as officials failed to intervene. The Washington Post and New York Times documented how law enforcement allowed hours of unchecked violence against pro-Palestinian demonstrators who, along with college activists across the US, had set up Gaza solidarity camps.
