ALT A photo of over 25 UCPD and CPD officers standing in a line in front of a large vertical UChicago banner that says "WELCOME TO CONVOCATION." Text above the photo reads: After students peacefully walked out of graduation ceremonies in solidarity with Palestine and with the four graduating students from whom UChicago is withholding diplomas, police blocked them from entering the street and brutalized them by pushing them, pepper spraying their eyes, and arrested the parent of a graduate.
![A graphic of testimonials from protesters who were pepper sprayed, with a kuffiyeh pattern in the back. They read: "[An] officer pulled out pepper spray and aimed indiscriminately at those of us on the front line. At first I wasn't sure what was being sprayed but then I felt the burning was all over my face, eyes, hands and chest." - graduate student at UChicago "We go from a normal rally outside Paul's house to suddenly seeing a cop fling his baton and lunging into us through the fences...I look around to see if my friends in the crowd are okay and the next minute I feel the spray hit my head and the burning sensation spread on my eyes." - graduate student at UChicago "Cops were jumping out past their barricades trying to arrest people at random, so we scrambled to hold on to each other. That is when I was hit in my left eye - it stung at first and within minutes it grew to burn intensely." - UChicago alum](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GPE59FUWEAALhxC.jpg?name=orig)
