Police evict Birmingham Uni protesters
Birmingham University occupation against cuts broken up

The occupation of Birmingham University's senate chambers was broken up yesterday by police, bailiffs and security guards in a dawn raid.

Fifteen students were forcibly evicted but none was arrested when officers stormed through their barricades at 6.30am.

The raid followed High Court judges upholding an injunction banning any occupation of the university's buildings for the next year at a hearing on Monday.
