Pro-Palestinian activists stage Cal State LA ‘die-in’ after encampment cleared, negotiations stalled

Just two weeks after police cleared a student-led pro-Palestinian encampment at Cal State Los Angeles, student activists staged a campus ‘die-in’ on Monday afternoon — hoping to increase pressure on their demands that the East L.A. university divest from Israeli interests.

“Long live Palestine!” the students chanted. “We will continue to fight for disclosure and divestment.”

The “die-in” demonstration, where participants gather and lie down as if they were dead, was staged at the Student Union building Monday.
