Students rallied at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville in solidarity with Palestine and their professor, who was severely hurt when multiple police officers were breaking up a Pro-Palestinian protest at Washington University last weekend.
The "March for Palestine" honored Dr. Steve Tamari, a 65-year-old history professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, who was arrested and sent to the hospital last week after he said officers threw him to the ground.
About 50 students peacefully protested around campus Saturday outside of Vadalabene Center, where multiple commencement ceremonies were taking place.
This comes as Pro-Palestinian demonstrations and arrests continue to happen at college campuses across America.
"We are here in support of Dr. Steve Tamari, who was brutalized by the police at the WashU campus for simply doing his duty of documenting what was going on," said SIUE student and protestor Tori Roderick.
5 On Your Side obtained videos showing what happened one week ago, where you can see Tamari taking a video on his phone right before the incident unfolded.
During the police response, Tamari says he was "body slammed and crushed by the weight of several St. Louis County police officers and then dragged across campus."
People in the background can be heard yelling, "Don't hurt him."
Tamari's wife posted an update Thursday on X, saying he was out of the hospital but suffered nine broken ribs and a broken hand, which will need surgery.
