A group of anti-Israel protesters have barricaded themselves inside outgoing Stanford President Richard Saller’s office on the last day of the school’s classes for the spring quarter.

According to the Stanford Daily, about 10 students are barricaded inside the building and about 50 others linked arms and surrounded the building. They fortified doors “with bike locks, chains, ladders, and chairs and covered security cameras with tin foil.”

They plan to stay until they are forcibly removed or the school meets their demands. So far, at least 12 people have been detained.

“Outside, protesters spray painted on a window, ‘Our office now,’ and chanted, ‘Palestine will be free, we will free Palestine,'” the student publication wrote. Sheriff deputies are trying to get into the building.

The students reportedly issued three demands to Stanford: add the divestment bill submitted by Stanford Against Apartheid in Palestine to the next board of trustees meeting, with a recommendation by President Richard Saller supporting the bill, disclose finances from fiscal 2022 including endowment investments, and drop all disciplinary and criminal charges against pro-Palestinian students at Stanford.

The group has renamed the building “Dr. Adnan Office,” a reference to Dr. Adnan al Bursh, a “Palestinian General Surgeon who was murdered in April by the Israeli genocidal campaign,” according to a press release sent to the school paper.

Stanford previously saw anti-Israel protests on its campus. Protesters staged a 120-day sit-in, halted in February, and established an encampment in late April.

Saller previously said he was hesitant to use police to remove protesters and prefers “to de-escalate the tensions on campus and not take actions that escalate.” Wednesday’s occurrence appeared enough to prompt police action.
