39 YEAR OLD ATAH OTHMAN, OTHMAN WAS ONE OF THE PRO- PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS AT UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA. OTHMAN WAS ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF A FIREARM ON SCHOOL PROPERTY.

39 year-old Atah Othman. Othman was one of the pro-Palestinian protesters at University of South Florida. Othman was arrested for possession of a firearm on school property.

According to university officials, between 75 and 100 protesters, including students and non-students, showed up with several items, including wood shields, umbrellas, and tents.

USF officials said SDS had been placed on interim suspension last week after causing a disruption on campus and, therefore, couldn't hold events.

The university's policy also didn't allow for tents on campus without permission, which they say students had violated.

The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee released a statement commending USF's response to the protests, saying in part:

"The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee applauds the University of South Florida 

(USF) and its President Reah Law, for enforcing USF policies and preventing a small group of agitators from harassing Jewish students on campus and disrupting the education of thousands of students."
