Police Pepper-Spray Student Protesters Demanding CCNY Divest from Israel

HeadlineApr 25, 2025

Students at the City College of New York rallied on campus Thursday to demand their administration divest from Israel and prioritize students’ safety, amid a mounting crackdown on rights across higher education. Students established what they called the Hilmi al-Faqaawi Liberated Zone, a tribute to the slain journalist who was killed when Israel struck a press tent in Khan Younis earlier this month. Campus security and NYPD moved in to suppress the peaceful protest, deploying pepper spray on the students.
