A student organization at Northeastern University, known as Huskies for a Free Palestine, has refuted claims made by school officials that the group was infiltrated by outside organizers during a recent protest encampment on campus. The organization stated that it was primarily comprised of students and not influenced by any external professional protestors.
Following the shutdown of the protest encampment, approximately 100 individuals were detained, with those holding valid school IDs being released and facing school disciplinary proceedings. The university had initially cited the presence of 'professional organizers with no affiliation to Northeastern' as a reason for the shutdown.
