Palestinian Forces Assault Student Protesters at An-Najah University in West Bank
(Middle East Eye-UK) Shatha Hammad - Palestinian Authority security forces at An-Najah University in Nablus could be seen on social media beating students, spraying them with pepper spray, and forcing them out of the campus during a protest Tuesday in response to the university's decision to expel a group of students last week. Gunshots could be heard in the background. Last Wednesday, undercover PA security officers and student members of the ruling party, Fatah, assaulted students and journalists at a protest organized by the Islamic bloc, affiliated with Hamas. The university dismissed 10 students in connection to the brawls, 5 members of the Islamic bloc and five from Fatah.
