For close to three weeks, some of the topmost Universities in the United States have been gripped by protests & clashes on campus. The anti-war students have been protesting against the Israel's war in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire. A key demand of students is that their institutions financially divest from Israel and companies profiting from the war. The campus protests have now spread to nearly 140 colleges in at least 45 states and at least six other countries, including France, Australia, U.K. & Canada. More than 2,000 have been arrested nationwide in the past fortnight in the brutal police crackdown at several campuses. Columbia, the epicentre of these protests, cancelled its main graduation ceremony on the 6th of May. A country that prides itself on freedom of expression is increasingly resembling an authoritarian nation. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

Students have been protesting against the Israel's war in Gaza and expressing solidarity with the Palestinians. A movement that began on the 17th of April with only 70 students at Columbia University in the New York city has gone from strength to strength despite threats of suspension and arrest. More than a dozen Universities & Institutes have joined the spreading protests, with Columbia University remaining the epicenter of this student protest movement. Large-scale arrests have been carried out by the police in Universities across the country. Chemical irritants and tasers have been employed to disperse students. But the students have remained steadfast in their demand that their institutions divest from companies that are enabling the brutal war in Gaza. Though this isn't the first time that University students in the U.S. have staged protests on campus, the crackdown on the student encampments have been particularly harsh this time.
