Thirteen arrested at NYU and 43 at New School, NYPD says, as encampments cleared in downtown Manhattan
Police began clearing out protesters at New York University (NYU) in downtown Manhattan on Friday as pressure continued to build on the city’s mayor, Eric Adams, to divulge more details on identities and affiliations of those within the 282 people arrested at uptown Columbia and City College of New York (CCNY) on Tuesday night – after he blamed “outside agitators” for prompting a crackdown.
Campuses elsewhere were relatively quiet overnight, while the recent weeks of escalated pro-Palestinian protests across more than 40 campuses nationwide have resulted in almost 2,200 arrests, according to an Associated Press tally.

Fri, 03 May 2024 12:06:19 GMT
Three UN experts warn proposed ‘harmony laws’ may contravene international human rights standards
New laws proposed by rightwing and far-right regional coalition governments to “whitewash” the Franco dictatorship could contravene international human rights standards, UN experts on truth, justice, forced disappearances and killings have warned Spain.
Two years ago, Spain’s socialist-led government introduced a Democratic Memory law designed to bring “justice, reparation and dignity” to the victims of the civil war and subsequent dictatorship.

Trump has ‘absolute right’ to testify at hush-money trial, says judge after ex-president falsely claims otherwise – live
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:48:28 GMT
Former president back in court as forensic analyst Douglas Daus is set to continue testifying
Judge Juan Merchan was referring to a claim Donald Trump made while addressing the media yesterday outside of court.
Speaking to reporters after court adjourned for the day on Thursday, the former president said:
I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order. I guess, right?
I’m not allowed to testify, because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order.
I want to stress Mr Trump that you have an absolute right to testify at trial.
That is a constitutional right that will not be denied or abnegated in any way ... It is a fundamental right that cannot be infringed upon ... the order prohibiting extra-judicial statements does not prevent you from testifying in any way.
