Clinton whisked away amid pro-Palestine protest at Belfast university
Northern Ireland’s police have spirited out former US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton from Queen’s University Belfast where hundreds of students gathered to denounce her stance on the Israeli genocide in Gaza. | Clashes erupted at the campus on Thursday as police moved in to confront the students who had gathered to protest against Clinton’s address. [...] The group also published videos showing police forces attacking people who were protesting peacefully. The police forces “dragged, pushed, and choked protesters, wielding their batons with no advance warning,” it said. Police confirmed four people were arrested on suspicion of a range of “public order offences.” [...] The QUB Palestine Assembly hit out at the university for inviting the two which it has described as “war criminals.” “Clinton has been a consistent apologist for the genocide being carried out against Palestinians in Gaza, and Kennedy represents an administration that has overseen the supply of the bombs and munitions that have taken upwards of 160,00 Palestinians lives,” it said in a statement on Thursday.
