Protesters At Emory University To Appear In Court Today

An Israeli Arab is escorted by police after an incident with pro-Palestinian protesters during a protest in solidarity with Pro-Palestinian organizers on the Columbia University campus, in New York Ci

First appearance hearings in DeKalb County, Georgia, are expected this morning for those arrested during a campus protest at Emory University Thursday morning.

Most of those arrested were students or community members of the university, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Caroline Fohlin, an economics professor, is the only professor currently in custody.

Some of those detained on Thursday were given citations and released, the source said.

Others were charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. The source mentioned that 'those who were arrested have no significant prior criminal history.'

'Most of them are students,' the source added.

Those making their first appearance on Friday will likely get an Unsecured Judicial Release with some special conditions, according to the source.

'Typically, when people are released on criminal trespass, they can't go back to the scene where they were arrested. We worked really hard last night to make sure they will be able to return to school and teach class,' the source stated.
