Police appear to have detained several protesters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday afternoon, the day after the school began issuing suspensions to students who took part in the pro-Palestinian encampment on the Kresge Lawn.

Police clashed with protesters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Thursday afternoon and detained several of them, moving people away with zip-tied wrists.

By 3 p.m., there were about 50 officers on the scene, including State Police, in a tense standoff with shouting protesters. Daniel Shen, an MIT graduate student at the protest Thursday, said he is among those who've received a suspension notice. He said the group was protesting at the Stata Center because it houses departments that do research collaborations with the Israeli military.
