Forty-seven people were arrested Monday during a pro-Palestinian protest at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

The protest started last week and went through the weekend into Monday.

Some students camped out in tents and said they were awoken around 6:40 a.m. as Yale police surrounded them and demanded that they leave or be arrested.

Yale said protesters advocating for Yale’s divestment from military weapons manufacturers converged on Beinecke Plaza. The protests grew to several hundred people, including students and as well as with no affiliation to Yale, according to a university spokesperson.

Yale students said they have been asking Yale for months to disclose their investments and divest from weapons manufacturing in the war between Israel and Palestine and decided to protest when there was no response.

Early Monday morning, Yale asked the protesters to leave and remove their belongings.

They were also reprotedly told to show identification. While some left, others did not comply with multiple requests, according to Yale, and 47 who people refused to leave were given summons charging them with criminal trespass in the first degree, which is a misdemeanor.
