Who are the People’s Liberated University? Pro-Palestinian protesters respond to judge’s favorable decision

BOISE — After district judge Jonathan Medema issued a preliminary injunction last week in favor of their right to maintain symbolic tents around the clock and not have their property seized by agents of the state, pro-Palestinian demonstrators continued their more than 90-day occupation of the Capitol Annex.

Tents line the sidewalk of West Jefferson street inked with messages like “Blessed are the Martyrs Murdered for our Sins” and “All Roads in Gaza are Rubble.” Canopies, tables and chairs remain manned through afternoons of triple-digit temperatures, and on Wednesday afternoon, a guitarist roamed around the protest site singing and playing a tune by punk rock musician Laura Jane Grace while a dog rested in the shade.
