The police then gradually cleared the protest camp. Some demonstrators were carried away chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. According to Schuster, three of them initially remained in police custody to establish their identities. The activists had previously announced by email that “around 200 police officers” had surrounded the students’ camp and given the protesters 15 minutes to leave the area.
