LOS ANGELES, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A total of 35 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt early Tuesday morning, ending a week-long occupancy of buildings on campus of the university in Northern California.

The university announced on Friday that its campus will remain closed through the rest of the semester, originally set to end on May 10, due to the pro-Palestinian protests. Dozens of protesters took over Siemens Hall, an academic and administrative building, earlier last week, while an unknown number of students occupied another building on the campus.
