Pro-Palestinian activists sue UCLA alleging civil rights violations at campus encampment
More than 30 pro-Palestinian activists have filed a civil rights lawsuit against UCLA, alleging the university “repeatedly and systemically” violated the civil rights of protesters during demonstrations at the campus encampment last year.
Plaintiffs said they were deprived of “their rights to assemble, speak, learn, and organize freely and safely” and left with “life-altering injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder,” according to a news release about the lawsuit.
Stett Holbrook, a spokesperson for the University of California president’s office, said the office had been notified of the lawsuit and was “gathering additional information.”
The lawsuit, announced Thursday, was filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. It lists 35 plaintiffs — including students, faculty members and legal observers — who were on campus during the protests last year.
In addition to alleging that university officials violated the “civil rights of all pro-Palestinian protesters” and failed to “address and prevent” discrimination, the lawsuit names the Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol and 20 individuals it calls a “rioting mob” as defendants.
The plaintiffs claim the law enforcement agencies used “excessive physical force” and unlawfully arrested protesters.
The plaintiffs alleged that on May 2, when more than 200 people were arrested at the encampment, police “shot powerful kinetic impact projectiles at peoples’ heads and faces.”
Spokespeople for the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles Police Department said the agencies do not comment on pending litigation.

Legal observers. What an interesting term. A better term might be “commissars.”
Case should be thrown out of court – lawless racists who may or may not have suffered injuries in the course of breaking the law. But this is California so there’s a good chance a Democrat judge will rule in support of the anti-Semites and against law and order.
That’s why we have a Supreme Court.
What of the civil rights of the people you were attacking, hmm?
whats so civil about sjp??
nothing!
“These people caused all kinds of problems and chaos on campus with their encampment. This lawsuit should go nowhere.”
Except this is California.
Lucrative settlement announced in 3…2…1…
The lawyers will get it all. The alleged leftist “victims” will be lucky to get a box of BandAids and a bottle of ibuprofen.
