Monday night at dinner, I heard that a student was taken under arrest earlier in the day at the vigil for victims of the recent violence in Gaza. My friend who participated in the demonstration, outside the Holyoke Center, said that plainclothes police officers approached the student as she was attempting to photograph the event.

A quick search of the Crimson archives yielded bupkis. Is this just a rumor? Anyone know exactly what went down? Was it only Cambridge police, or HUPD, too? A student gets arrested at an outdoor, public event and no one at the daily makes a peep?

WTF? Has anybody heard anything about this? I know Katie posted some questions back in March when those people got arrested, but... the ACLU? "Political intelligence"? The FBI? This is some weirdness. If HUPD (a private organization paid for by our tuition) is secretly monitoring student activism on behalf of the federal government, that's pretty obviously unacceptable...
