Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested on Saturday at a pro-Palestinian protest held at Washington University in St. Louis. At this time, there are no known charges against her, as confirmed by her campaign spokesperson.
Stein was present at the protest to show her support for students who had established an encampment and were demanding that Washington University divest from Boeing and boycott Israeli academic institutions, among other requests. In a video captured before her arrest and shared online, Stein expressed her solidarity with the students and their constitutional right to free speech.
