Stanford students face felony charges after violent pro-Palestine protest
Eleven Stanford students who occupied the university president’s office in June 2024 were indicted Monday on felony vandalism and trespassing charges.
The students, part of a pro-Palestine protest, barricaded themselves inside Building 10 and left graffiti across Main Quad with messages including “kill cops” and “death to Israel,” according to The Stanford Daily.
Their arraignments are set for Oct. 6 in San Jose.
One student avoided indictment after agreeing to testify against the others. Deputy District Attorney Robert Baker said the case was presented to a grand jury “to get it to trial as soon as possible and conserve judicial resources.”
In June 2024, the protesters occupied the university president’s office as part of the demonstration, which was organized by the People’s University for Palestine.
The demonstrators broke windows and furniture, disabled security cameras, splashed fake blood inside, and barricaded doors with equipment. Outside, graffiti appeared across Stanford’s Main Quad with messages such as “Death 2 US,” “Kill Cops,” and “F*** Amerikkka.”
Officials estimated the damage at several hundred thousand dollars. The incident drew sharp criticism from the DA, who called it a “calculated plan of destruction.”
Pro-Palestine students have continued to justify the protest. “Students acted to break through indifference, to force attention on an injustice that holding signs outside an office could never achieve,” said Stanford Students for Justice in Palestine member Amanda Campos.

“Government acted to break through false tolerance, to force attention on the consequences of criminality that sentences of probation and public service has never achieved.”
Please say they were promptly expelled.
If foreign students, deport.
