Police arrest dozens of protesters in George Washington University

Police have started clearing a pro-Palestine encampment in George Washington University in Washington, DC, hours after students left the site and marched to university president Ellen Granberg's home.

Police officers had told students that those who remain in front of the plaza would be arrested, while university officials warned students of possible suspensions for participating in protests on University Yard.

Dozens of protesters have been arrested according to community organisers.
