British police arrest pro-Palestinian People students at the University of Oxford

British police arrested several students during a sit-in they carried out at the University of Oxford where they demanded an end to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Reuters quoted the “Oxford Action for Palestine” organization as saying that the university authorities called the police, accompanied by dogs, after students began their protest in front of administrative offices, as happened at other universities in Britain, the United States and elsewhere.

Footage posted by the organization on social media showed quarrels between police officers and students sitting on the road, blocking a car carrying detainees from driving… The demonstrators chanted: “let them go”, while one of the participants in the sit-in said: “the police treated us very violently and aggressively”.

The protesters demanded their university to extract its investments from companies that have ties with the Israeli entity. Oxford Action for Palestine said in a post on the X platform: “the administration prefers to arrest, silence and physically assault its students rather than face the fact that it contributes to enabling the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza.
