The University of Nottingham has deals with defence companies
Behind the bike shelters at the entrance to the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus on Derby Road is a section of woodland. Normally, the green grass sways in the breeze and flanks the main road into the site.
And they’re here for the time being. On entrance to the camp, tied to a tree using fibres, is a large whiteboard split into sections. At around 11.50am on Monday, the first weekday the camp has been in operation, outsiders begin to gather in the centre of the grass. Those with a residence here emerge from their temporary domiciles.
The main speaker at the rally is Leila, who also spoke at the emergency Rafah protest that took place outside Nottingham Council House on May 7. She began by chanting and rousing the watching crowd. "I am extending our solidarity to you and the purpose of the encampment," he said. "We admire your resolve. While so many remain silent, you students have decided to speak up."● Disclose: Publish financial relations, partnerships and divestments.
A third speaker at the rally, called River, said that the encampment would not be moving until action had been taken. Reference was made to around 20 encampments at other universities across the country.
