Military Police removed about 150 students who had been occupying the São Paulo University administration building lobby since Thursday (7) in the early hours of Sunday (10). The operation involved approximately 50 officers and generated conflicting accounts about injuries: police said there were no injuries, while the Central Student Directory (DCE) reported that six students were taken to UPA Rio Pequeno, with four remaining hospitalized — one with a fractured nose.

According to the police force, four people were taken to the 7th Police District and charged with damage to public property and alteration of boundaries, being released after processing. Police reported damage at the site — gate knocked down, broken glass doors, damaged desks and tables — and seizure of "narcotics, bladed weapons and blunt objects, such as knives, pocket knives, stilettos, batons and clubs."
