STORYLINE:
German police on Tuesday broke up a protest by several hundred pro-Palestinian activists who had occupied a courtyard at Berlin’s Free University earlier in the day.
The action is the latest by authorities as protests have roiled campuses in the United States spread across Europe.
The protesters had put up about 20 tents and formed a human chain around the tents. Most had covered their faces with medical masks and had draped keffiyeh scarves around their heads, shouting slogans such as “Viva, viva Palestina" and "Shame on you."
Police called on the students via loudspeakers to leave the campus and could also be seen carrying some students away.
Some scuffles erupted between police officers and protesters and police used pepper spray against some of them.
The school's administrators said in a statement that the protesters had rejected any kind of dialogue and they had therefore called in police to clear the campus.
The administrators said some protesters attempted to enter rooms and lecture halls at Free University in order to occupy them.
The protest organizers, which say they are made up of students from various Berlin universities and other individuals, had called on other students and professors to take part in the action, the university statement said.
In recent days, students have held protests or set up encampments in Finland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, France and Britain, following earlier protests at U.S. campuses.
