WASHINGTON C, US -APRIL 27: Pro-Palestine students continued their encampment at George Washington University (GW) campus in the heart of the US capital on Saturday despite widespread crackdowns on university protests across the country.Students from various Washington-based universities, along with academics and activists, gathered at GW campus for a third day to express solidarity with Palestinians and demand that their universities divest from financial ties with Israel.The students established the encampment on GW's university yard early Thursday, located just over three blocks from the White House.Protests are sweeping college campuses nationwide following a police attempt to clear a pro-Palestine encampment at Columbia University, resulting in the arrest of over 100 students.Police erected barricades around the encampment in early hours of Friday, restricting access to the area. However, students remained steadfast, refusing to leave until their demands are met, while others continued their protests outside the camp.Protests have been reported at a wide array of campuses from California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt; Yale University; University of Minnesota - Twin Cities; Swarthmore College and the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania; the University of Rochester in New York; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University and Emerson College in Massachusetts and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.(Footage by Celal Güneş /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
