Demonstration moves from U of U campus to Salt Lake County Jail after protester's arrest

Published 2024-04-30
One day after on-campus protests led to the arrest of 19 pro-Palestinian supporters, University of Utah officials say the same rules will be in place Tuesday night should violations occur.

Another protest was held at Presidents Circle on Tuesday evening. But this time, organizers told FOX 13 News that they do not intend to camp.

In fact, shortly before 7 p.m., nearly all the protesters left the campus to move the protest to the Salt Lake County Jail, where they say one of the organizers is being held after being arrested Tuesday afternoon before the rally began.

    Every once in a while people have to be reminded of who you aren't allowed to criticize. And who actually holds power. Candice Owens can tell you all about that.

    This is getting so ridiculous if you care so much about Palestine why don’t you just move there? It is sad but guess what they have their own leaders to take care of their own problems. I don’t want my taxes going overseas.

    Thanks heavens Utah isn’t going to let these protests go on like they have at other Universities around the country. Stay the course!

    Best of luck 😂 That jail was built as a maximum security facility. Besides, if it gets violent again, they won’t have to take you very far.

    Protesting is dumb nothing ever changes. It’s like kids throwing hissy fits. The main difference difference between ESPN and now is at the University got money.

    😂if the homeless can’t camp, then they definitely can’t… they will always have 3 hots(lukewarm, sometimes cold af) and a cot just on the other side of those walls.
