Details

Chicago police have detained several protesters who broke through a barricade near the arena where the Democratic National Convention is taking place. The incident occurred when a group of activists managed to overcome the outer security perimeter, but failed to break through the inner fence around the venue.

According to NBC Chicago, the footage shows several protesters climbing over the fence, while other protesters chant slogans and bang on the fence. Police in riot gear quickly intervened and took several people into custody. The exact number of detainees has not yet been disclosed.

The protest was one of seven authorized events scheduled for the week. The main demands of the protesters were for Palestinian rights, an end to the war in Gaza, and a reduction in US aid to Israel. The participants also included representatives of various left-wing movements, including climate activists, socialists, anti-racist organizations, and groups supporting the rights of the LGBT+ community.
