After three Palestinian students, including Brown University junior Hisham Awartani, were shot in Vermont over the weekend, the Brown administration announced Monday that trespass charges against 20 pro-Palestine student protesters were being dropped.
But it did not comment on the central demand of the protesters from a group called Jews for Ceasefire Now who staged a sit-in in University Hall on November 8 calling for the university to divest its endowment from companies that supply military equipment and weapons to Israel.
Awartani, and two other Palestinian students-Tahseen Ali Ahmad of Trinity College and Kinnan Abdalhamid of Haverford College-were shot Saturday in Burlington, Vt,. in what was likely a hate crime.
