It’s been a long night.
At 8pm today, anticipating an imminent police sweep, student protestors locked arms around Hamilton Hall at #ColumbiaUniversity - renamed Hind’s Hall by protestors, in memory of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl killed by the Israeli military in January.
By 8:45, police in riot gear could be seen moving outside the closed university gates on all sides, as barricades blocked entry north of 113th street.
