Three anti-Israel protesters, Catherine Curran-Groome, Aidan Parisi, and Brandon Murphy, have filed a lawsuit against Columbia University, claiming wrongful suspension and eviction from student housing due to their politics. They allege being unlawfully targeted for engaging in protests and non-violent events. The lawsuit follows protests in which the NYPD was called to remove encampments. The plaintiffs report injuries from alleged attacks during a pro-Palestinian demonstration and are seeking damages.
The University has substantially departed from its established rules and policies to unlawfully target and punish plaintiffs for their engagement in protests, vigils, teach-ins, and other non-violent events.
Parisi and Curran-Groome also claimed they were hit with 'skunk spray' by two students who are former IDF soldiers after attending a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
