BREAKING: Working Mass can confirm that the antisemitic chants were shouted not by encampment organizers, but by pro-Israel counter-supporters. We are waiting on a response from Northeastern about their decision to arrest their own students in light of this new information.
VIDEO: Outside provocateurs holding Israeli flags chanted "Kill the Jews!" Pro-Palestine Northeastern students at the encampment sought to de-escalate. Northeastern admin need to apologize for false claims - news outlets need to issue corrections.
According to Ozturk’s attorney, sources report, Ozturk has a valid F-1 visa and was returning home to meet with friends and break her Ramadan fast when she was detained by federal agents, near Electric Avenue and Mason Street in Somerville, just a block away from Tuft’s campus.
Ozturk was one of four authors of an Op-Ed in the The Tufts Daily, the school’s student newspaper. The article called on the universities’ administration to implement the anti-genocide resolutions adopted by the Tufts Community Union Senate, a body of the student government.
