Arms protests at University of Glasgow escalate
Protesters at the University of Glasgow

STUDENTS who have set up camp at the heart of the University of Glasgow’s campus insist they are going nowhere until the institution cuts its links with arms companies and Israel.

Weeks of protests at the university have seen hundreds of students and staff organise numerous rallies, occupations, “teach-ins” and three students launch a hunger strike in a bid to have the institution axe its £6.8 million investments in arms giants such as BAE Systems, as well as its 23 active research grants with the firms totalling over £60m.
