Document Date: October 31, 2024

The ACLU, Amnesty International USA, and Human Rights Watch published an open letter to universities and colleges across the country, calling on them to respect and protect the right to protest in support of Palestinian rights. The joint letter focuses on the use of force and aims to put universities and colleges on notice as we continue to investigate incidents where campus police and law enforcement used force against peaceful protesters, including the usage of less-lethal weapons.
