Advance media is reporting 13 arrestrs
https://www.nj.com/education/2024/04/13-arrested-at-princeton-university-gaza-protest-officials-say.html
The report at Advance media gives no details from the student perspective. The following is the gist:
They were all issued summonses for trespassing and have been barred from campus. Those who are students will also face university discipline, which could include suspension or expulsion, the president said”
Reported on 4/29
I have a sketchy report that I can not completely discern yet about the details – and am reaching out to the organizers and participants for press releases and updates.
This is sketchy field report:
“In Princeton they just released 2 bc protesters surrounded bus. They gave them summons and they have to leave campus by 7:30 11 more still in building.”

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED APRIL 25:
Princeton students are immediately arrested as they attempt to start a de-occupy event – threatened also with severe disciplinary measures by Princeton University which has many direct connections to the national security state. We are reaching out to the organizers for more details.

The Princeton Gaza Solidarity Encampment joins the national movement for the Popular University for Gaza (@nationalsjp), We will not leave until Princeton:
1. Ends its silence and release a public statement calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and condemning Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.
2. Commits to full financial transparency on its investments.
3. Dissociates and divests its endowment of all direct and indirect holdings in companies that profit from or engage in the State of Israel’s ongoing military campaign, occupation,and apartheid policies
4. Divests the roughly $700 million that it continues to hold in private fossil fuel companies.
5. Discloses and ends Princeton University research on weapons of war funded by the Department of Defense. which is the world’s largest institutional carbon emitter. The US sends more military aid and technology to Israel than any other country. This research also includes automated software and artificial intelligence technology used to enable genocide.
6. Refrains from any form of academic or cultural association with Israeli institutions and businesses, in line with the Palestinian in line with the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Importantly, this boycott is of institutions, not individuals.
7. Cultivates affiliations with Palestinian academic and cultural institutions directly without requiring them to partner with Israeli counterparts as an explicit or implicit condition for such support.
8. Stops sponsoring and facilitating Birthright Israel trips and Tiger-Trek Israel, and end
Princeton’s relationship with the Tikvah Fund
Immediate support needed:
update as of 8:20 am: Princeton has EVICTED the two arrested students and barred them from campus. This repression on a campus that claims to value “free speech” must be called out!
