PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – A protest has begun at the University of Pittsburgh. Protesters gathered outside the Cathedral of Learning just before 6 p.m. on Sunday. At 7:21 p.m. Pitt Police said the Cathedral of Learning and WPU would be closed until further notice. They also believe traffic will be impacted near Forbes Avenue and Bigelow Blvd. Protesters say they stand with the people of Palestine. One person was detained at the protest while Channel 11 was at the scene. That man was running cases of water toward the encampment. Police say the protesters do not have a permit for food or water, which is why he was detained. They are calling for the University of Pittsburgh to sever any ties with Israel or companies promoting the Israel-Hamas War. A very high police presence has been monitoring the situation.
