On May 14, 2024, students and those arrested during the establishment of Arizona State University’s Gaza solidarity encampment had their arraignment hearings. Over 70 protesters faced charges after being violently arrested by ASU police in the early hours of April 27th. Mass Liberation AZ hosted a protester support rally and a press conference with the defense attorneys at the conclusion of the hearings. 

Watch attorney Zayed Al-Sayyed, part of an incredible joint defense team of 10 lawyers representing the protesters, break down exactly what happened at court and the impact of these cases on those arrested.

We still have more to do to make sure ASU is held accountable for their violence against students and community members who persist in the demand for a #FreePalestine.

Make sure to take part in the letter campaign demanding accountability from ASU’s leadership.
