Pro-Palestine student protesters briefly interrupted Pomona College’s graduation at a venue in downtown Los Angeles, United States, demanding their school divest from companies and weapons manufacturers linked to Israel, according to local media.
The protesters attempted to block the entrance to the venue, the Los Angeles Police Department said on X, adding that one person at the rally tried to “strike an officer”.
The protest resulted in the University of Southern California announcing that it would close its University Park Campus, which is located next to the venue hosting the Pomona graduation.
