| UN right chief troubled by treatment of pro-Palestinian protesters at US universities |
| 2024-05-01 |
| [GEO.TV] The UN human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... chief said on Tuesday he was "troubled" by heavy-handed actions taken by US security forces during attempts to break up pro-Paleostinian protests on college campuses. "I am concerned that some of law enforcement actions across a series of universities appear disproportionate in their impacts," Volker Turk said in a statement sent to journalists, in which he made reference to arrests and sanctions of students. "It must be clear that legitimate exercises of the freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement to violence and hatred," he added. |

| #7 We live in a world where far too many of those in "leadership" are fundamentally unserious. |

| #1 I'm also troubled. The treatment of people trespassing and vandalizing and threatening is far too lenient. |
