Protestors have stormed an awards ceremony at a Yorkshire university to protest about its links to Israel.
The protestors stormed onto the stage at the education awards were set to take place at the University of Sheffield, demanding the institution ‘cuts ties with the arms trade’ as well as universities in Israel. They also demanded the university directs research projects away from arms-related work. The protestors chanted ‘free Palestine’, ‘this is our university too, we will not be silenced' and we are all Palestinians’.
A spokeswoman for The University of Sheffield said the protestors briefly disrupted the event – which was cancelled – but left shortly after. A pro-Palestinian tent encampment was also cleared at the University of Chicago on Tuesday after administrators who had initially adopted a permissive approach said the protest had crossed a line and caused growing concerns about safety.
