6 Penn students among 19 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested during attempt to occupy building

Authorities say a half-dozen University of Pennsylvania students were among 19 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested during an attempt to occupy a building on campus. University police say seven remained in custody Saturday awaiting felony charges from Friday's incident, including one person who allegedly assaulted an officer. A dozen were issued citations for failing to disperse and follow police commands. They have been released from custody. The arrests came as other colleges across the country, anxious to prepare for commencement season, either negotiated agreements with students or called in police to dismantle protest camps.
