A very loud group of pro-Palestinian protesters made their way inside the MUN Arts and Administration building this morning demanding that University leadership meet with the organizers about their demands.

Protests have been happening on campus for weeks amidst calls for the university to disclose its investments and divest from companies with ties to Israel—such as weapons manufacturers.

Three students were charged with trespassing over the weekend after the RNC were called in to help disband the protest due to safety concerns after an inspection by St. John’s Regional.

The university says the students were given ample time and warning, but organizers claim they were given very little notice.

Fueled by the events over the weekend, protesters returned to the Arts and Admin building this morning.

Sadie Mees, who is helping to organize the protests, explains why it’s important to continue with their demonstrations.

Her assertion is that MUN is being “complicit” with the horrors of the war in the middle east by not divesting from any ties with Israeli companies.

The university has met with the group on several previous occasions, and has made commitments on some of their demands. Those commitments can be read here.
