More than 30 pro-Palestinian activists have filed a civil rights lawsuit against UCLA, claiming the university violated their civil rights during demonstrations at the campus last year. The activists allege they were deprived of their rights to assemble, speak, learn, and organize freely and safely, leading to life-altering injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. The lawsuit names university officials, law enforcement agencies, and individuals involved in the protests as defendants. The activists claim that excessive physical force was used, and they were unlawfully arrested during the demonstrations. The lawsuit describes a violent attack on the activists by a group of counterprotesters, with some suffering serious injuries. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages for the physical and psychological harm inflicted on the activists. The university has stated that they are gathering additional information regarding the lawsuit and have implemented reforms to promote safety and combat discrimination on UC campuses. The legal observers commented that the attacks they faced were brutal and horrifying, with the police and private security failing to protect them. The activists provided personal testimonies in the lawsuit detailing the violence and injuries they suffered during the protests. The lawsuit highlights the need for accountability and justice for the activists who were harmed during the demonstrations at the UCLA campus.
