In a written statement, Faculty for Justice in Palestine at UCLA spokesperson Graeme Blair said the four people were arrested after the on-campus rally ended, and he called for them to be released.

“We demand UCPD releases them without a citation immediately,” he said in the statement.

Three people were arrested for obstructing Bruin Walk, and one person was arrested for interfering with an officer, according to a post on the social media platform X from UCPD at 7:32 p.m.

Jeffrey Chobanian, administrative division lieutenant for UCPD, said the protest violated the university’s Time, Place and Manner policies by obstructing access of community members, using amplified sound and blocking traffic at Murphy Hall.

As of 4:52 p.m., all protesters and UCPD officers have left Bruin Plaza and Bruin Walk. Nine CSC employees remain patrolling Bruin Walk.

The SJP at UCLA demonstrations today came ahead of a strike from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299 – a union representing patient care, service and skilled craft workers. The strike is scheduled to last from Wednesday to Thursday and will affect dining halls, hospitals and janitorial services. SJP claimed on its Instagram story that the protest was considered a form of picketing.

As of 4:10 p.m., about 30 pro-Palestine protesters remain in Bruin Plaza, mostly sitting and talking with each other. Counter-protesters have left the scene. Eight CSC employees and five UCPD officers remain patrolling Bruin Walk.

At least two pro-Israel counter-protesters are arguing with pro-Palestine protesters after the latter stopped picketing.

“We were in Israel on Oct. 7,” one of the counter-protesters said.

In a statement posted on X – formerly known as Twitter – the UCPD said it is monitoring the protest.“Some walkways are affected and we are actively working to resolve the situation,” the department said in the statement.

Police officers in riot gear walked in a line down Bruin Walk near Kerckhoff Hall and Ackerman Union but now line the sides of Bruin Walk outside Ackerman Union. East Bruin Walk is an area in which public expression activities are allowed, according to UCLA’s Time, Place and Manner policies. Bruin Plaza — where pro-Palestine protesters are now picketing — is an approved public expression area but requires permission from the Office of Student Organizations, Leadership & Engagement.
