Last Tuesday, police officers wearing riot control equipment entered the campus of Columbia University, in New York, United States (USA), during the night, in order to disperse the pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in front of one of the entrances to the building.

The action took place 20 hours after a group of students broke into the Hamilton Hall building, closed the doors and barricaded themselves inside using tables, chairs, metal barricades and other objects.

During the demonstration, the police used a large vehicle with an extendable ramp to enter the second floor of Hamilton Hall through a window, since according to university staff, some of the demonstrators were still inside.
