The group called Jewish Voice for Peace occupied the lobby of Trump Tower in New York to protest the detention of activist Mahmoud Khalil, who leads pro-Palestinian protests. Police detained 98 protesters.
The detention of student activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials was protested by the group Jewish Voice for Peace.
THEY OCCUPIED TRUMP TOWER
About 150 members of the Jewish group occupied the lobby of Trump Tower in New York, calling for Khalil's release. Most of the protesters wore red shirts and carried signs that read "Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine" and "Fight Nazis, Not Students." The police intervened against the demonstrators, who chanted "Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine" for a long time.
98 PROTESTERS DETAINED
The New York Police Department (NYPD) launched an operation after the protesters occupied the lobby of Trump Tower. Police teams detained the unauthorized demonstrators with plastic handcuffs and removed them from the premises. NYPD Chief John Chell stated that 98 protesters were detained within two hours of the intervention.
"FREE MAHMOUD FREE PALESTINE"
The pro-Palestinian Jewish activist group Jewish Voice for Peace played a significant role in organizing the action. In a statement made via social media, the group said, "As Jews, we are taking over Trump Tower to amplify our collective voice. We will not stand by as this fascist regime attempts to criminalize anyone calling for an end to the genocide of Palestinians funded by the Israeli government and the U.S. We will never stop fighting for a free Palestine. If you come for one of us, you come for all of us. Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine."
