WASHINGTON — Pro-Palestinian protests continued into their second day in the heart of the nation’s capital, where students, professors, and others have converged on George Washington University to call for divestment in Israeli-related companies, as the school pledges to punish those who continue to violate its rules.

Protesters at the unsanctioned encampment blew through a 7 p.m. curfew on Thursday, where the university requested those involved to remove themselves and their tents from University Yard. However, the school appears to be taking a more hard-line approach today, telling the Washington Examiner the remaining students in the camp “are trespassing on private property and violating university regulations.”
