Protesters have stopped in front of the Penn Museum gates, where alumni are attending the Franklin Festival as part of Alumni Weekend.
“We brought you all here because this is the alumni party,” an organizer shouted. “Do you all know that Penn’s hands are red?”
Protesters chanted “UPenn, Upenn you can’t hide, you get rich off genocide” as alumni filmed from the other side of the fence.
A protester climbed the fence holding a Palestinian flag.
05/17/24 9:53pm
At least six police officers surrounded and arrested a protester in the middle of 34th Street as protesters shouted “You don’t need six f**king pigs on one person” and “PPD, KKK, IOF, they’re all the same.”
Police officers have continued to refuse to show their badge numbers despite requests from protesters.
05/17/24 9:14pm
Police officers and protesters were crowded around the corner of 34th and Walnut Street as multiple protesters were arrested.
Police asked protesters to move away from the Walnut Street corner as protesters and police were gathered in a tight circle, forcefully pushing each other as police attempted to make arrests. Some protesters attempted to run towards Walnut St., and many officers held tasers.
Protesters chanted “PPD, KKK, IOF, they’re all the same” and “Let them free” as people were handcuffed and led into Penn Police vans.

On May 10, officers from the Philadelphia and Penn Police departments arrested dozens of protesters at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at around 6 a.m. The Daily Pennsylvanian staffers closely followed the events throughout the day, from the initial arrests to the subsequent rally condemning the arrests.
05/10/24 7:51am
Around 5 Penn employees can be seen carrying out tents, signs, and other belongings from the encampment and loading them into a trash truck parked on Locust Walk.
The Philadelphia Police Department has begun to block off the intersection of 61st Street and Haverford Avenue in front of the entrance to the station.
Additional police vehicles are blocking off neighboring streets, including Girard Ave.
05/10/24 7:39am
Approximately 20 Philadelphia Police Officers in riot gear entered the barricades blocking the 5 protesters seated by the 34th and Walnut entrance.
05/10/24 7:23am
Police set up additional barricades at 34th and Walnut, leaving only a path for bans to leave.
Protesters chanted “we see you, we love you, we will get justice for you” as they set up.
05/10/24 6:27am
The first protestor was removed from the statue and arrested using zip-tie handcuffs. Organizers continued to sing “We shall not be moved” as the individual was escorted away under custody.
Members of the press, including reporters for the Daily Pennsylvanian, were escorted from the area where arrests are taking place. Police, both Penn and Philadelphia, physically pushed reporters and photographers from the area.
Legal observers were also forced to leave, being threatened with arrest if they did not move.
05/10/24 6:07am
Police in riot gear arrived at the encampment as thirty protestors including Penn students linked arms and surrounded the Ben Franklin statue on College Green.
Officers served papers to the protestors containing a written warning of trespass.
Penn Police officers removed zip ties from metal barricades around the encampment.
05/01/24 9:28pm
Pro-Palestinian protesters moved over barricades surrounding the Gaza Solidarity Encampment during an 8 p.m. rally at the Ben Franklin Statue on College Green.
“Hey hey, ho ho, Zionists have got to go,” the protesters chanted as they surrounded the Ben Franklin statue, which now holds a Palestinian flag. A person atop the statue is currently leading the crowd in chants.
04/30/24 12:30pm
Penn administrators entered the encampment around noon on Thursday and took several photos of those inside, prompting chants of “shame” from participants.
Associate Vice Provosts for University Life Tamara Greenfield King and Sharon Smith, and Office of Student Affairs Executive Director Katie Bonner, walked into the central area of tents and took photos of several people inside the encampment using their phones.
An individual in the encampment described the interaction as “harassing,” and added that it appears administrators are continuing to try and divide the encampment into two groups: those who hold PennCards and those who do not.
After University administrators left the encampment, an individual on a megaphone suggested that Penn students in the encampment put on masks.
The interaction marks another step in increased tensions between those in the encampment and University officials. It is unclear if this is a step towards officials asking those on College Green for identification, as has been warned by Penn officials.
In an April 27 statement, organizers wrote that they “will continue to occupy this space” until the encampment’s demands are met — signaling that they will not comply with a Friday night demand to disband the encampment.
