Watch UCLA protests live: Students running out of time to move – or face arrest | WorldNews

Police in riot gear have massed on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles – as students have been told to leave or face arrest,

A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators remain inside a fortified encampment.

This comes a night after violence instigated by counter-protesters erupted on the campus.

Some protesters said Muslim prayers as the sun set over the campus – others chanted “we’re not leaving”.

Students could be seen with goggles, head scarves, respiratory masks and hard hats.

Separately, a large crowd of students, alumni and neighbors gathered on campus steps outside the tents in an apparent show of support.

A small group of students in support of Israel demonstrated nearby.

Clashes with police

The violence seen yesterday seems to have dissipated.

Counter-demonstrators had attacked the pro-Palestinian encampment, throwing traffic cones, releasing pepper spray and tearing down barriers.

Police stepped in, though no arrests were made.

At least 15 protesters suffered injuries.

The apparently tepid response by authorities drew criticism from political leaders as well as Muslim students and advocacy groups.
