At least 20 pro-Palestine protesters have been arrested from a Gaza solidarity encampment on the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) campus, according to local police, Al Jazeera reports.

Several dozen people set up tents at UTD’s Chess Plaza on Wednesday morning, with one sign saying “Welcome to Gaza Liberation Plaza”.

Police were seen dismantling the encampment and arresting protesters for criminal trespass on Wednesday afternoon. It’s unclear how many of the protesters are students at the university.
