A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Ziad El-Ghezzaoui can proceed with most of his excessive-force lawsuit against the UC Regents. El-Ghezzaoui alleges that police struck him with a baton and shot him with a rubber bullet while he was participating in a pro-Palestinian encampment on a University of California campus in 2024.

El-Ghezzaoui further alleges the university administration failed to protect encampment participants from the police response.
