A day that began with three dozen demonstrators arrested or cited on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus ended with another arrested after an altercation between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and police at N.C. State University.

The protest at the Raleigh campus began peacefully around 6:30 p.m. at the Memorial Belltower, reported ABC11, The News & Observer’s newsgathering partner.

A hour in, police ordered the protesters to leave campus. When they did not, an officer grabbed a protester identified only as Nada, ABC11 reported. She was arrested and taken to the Wake County Detention Center.

From there, demonstrators who had moved to the sidewalk tried to enter campus again. The police initially pushed back, but eventually let the group continue marching through campus. They marched to the student union and then back to the belltower.

Organizers then ordered everyone to go to the jail to support Nada, ABC11 reported.

Not long after they arrived, Nada was released and walked out of the detention center to the cheers of the crowd.

“I’m not scared, I’m not intimidated, I did what I had to do to be out here for Palestine,” Nada told ABC11. “We will be heard by our universities, we will be heard by the community, and I stand by that.”

Another student, a graduating senior from Fayetteville, stopped to talk with the facilities workers. He helped to keep the flag from touching the ground when protesters tried taking it down a second time, the unidentified student said.
