Daily Tar Heel Misreports Basic Facts Regarding Pro-Palestinian Protester’s Alleged Criminal Activity

An investigative report from the Carolina Review indicates that The Daily Tar Heel inaccurately reported that activist Laura Saavedra Forero’s charges were dropped, as court records show she is in a conditional discharge for blocking UNC’s provost’s car and twice resisting arrest. Hunter Klosty notes that her arrests were not related to the April 2024 encampment or campus protests on Polk Place. Despite public records contradicting its claims, the DTH stands by its reporting.
