Protestors are camping out on campus
Pro-Palestinian students have occupied the University of Manchester campus to protest against the war in Gaza.
Following the occupation a University of Manchesterstudent was suspended amid allegations they took part in a protest over the institution's 'ties to Israel'. It is understood that the student has previously faced disciplinary action for participation in protests. Another student added: “We’ve tried everything and we felt we had to escalate and take it further. Seeing the global mobilisation also inspired us and we felt there was a growing movement.
One sign included the controversial slogan ‘From the river to the sea’, referring to the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean, and the phrase was heard being played on a set of speakers.
