Wash U Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Protest Results in 80+ Arrests [PHOTOS]

Yesterday's sizable pro-Palestine protest at Washington University in St. Louis was swiftly met with orders to disperse — and as day turned to evening, more than 80 arrests.

"A protest medic was picked up and slammed to the ground by multiple police officers, a woman wearing a Keffiyeh was ripped from the circle of protesters and slammed down with a hooked arm around her throat by an officer, an older man with gray hair was forced face down into the ground as officers leaned onto him and zip-tied his hands, and other protesters were picked up and carried away to waiting vans," writes RFT Staff Writer Kallie Cox of the scene on Saturday, April 27. Even Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate, was arrested.

Photojournalist Zachary Linhares was on site as protestors gathered, set up a temporary camp and then resisted orders to leave it — as well as as all the chaos that followed as police moved in and made arrests. Scroll down for the images he captured.
