Police stand in front of the Stanford University president’s office after a group of pro-Palestine protesters barricaded themselves inside the office in Stanford, Calif., on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Thirteen pro-Palestine Stanford University students were arrested.
“Rather, both Stanford Daily staffers were among a small group of individuals barricaded inside a locked office building, after gaining unlawful entry,” the statement said. “They had no legal right to be there, under the First Amendment or otherwise, and the conduct in this case was deeply problematic.”
Max Szabo, an attorney and spokesperson for the journalist, said “Dilan and his family are grateful to the many organizations that are taking a stand to support both Dilan and freedom of the press.” Szabo wrote that Gohill spent 15 hours in jail, where Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Deputies “attempted to gain access to Dilan’s iPhone, putting it up to his face in order to gain entry via Face ID. Dilan looked away repeatedly, stymying the Deputies’ efforts to get into his device.”by its board in which they “ask the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office to decline pursuing criminal charges against Dilan, which would be plainly unfounded.
