Pro-Palestinian students have set up camp at Harvard University to protest against the institution’s involvement with companies that sell weapons to Israel and the April 22 suspension of the undergraduate group Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee.

The group was suspended after violating protest guidelines during a campus demonstration in Harvard Yard last week, according to The Harvard Crimson, the university’s student newspaper.
