Several individuals were detained outside KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm on Wednesday afternoon.

Protesters demonstrated against the Gaza war and KTH’s collaboration with Israeli universities.

Police intervened, claiming the gathering was unauthorized and disorderly.

Demonstrators criticized the police for escalating the situation by using dogs and force.

Protests at universities worldwide, sparked by a student occupation at Columbia University, aim to pressure institutions to end partnerships with Israeli schools and firms.
