KUT News: “Pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched near the Texas Capitol on Sunday after the Texas Department of Public Safety announced the grounds would be closed through at least Monday to ensure the safety of “persons and property within the complex.”
In a statement, organizers from the Palestinian Youth Movement called the closure an “instance to repress pro-Palestine organizing in Texas.” They said protesters had planned to come in from across the state and the closure put them at risk by limiting access to bathrooms and protection from the heat.”
