Senate House in Cambridge after Pro-Palestinian protesters sprayed red paint on the historic building at the University of Cambridge, June 22, 2024

PRO-PALESTINIAN activists sprayed a historic Cambridge University building with blood-red paint on Saturday, demanding that it divest from firms linked to Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

In collaboration with members of Palestine Action, students targeted Senate House, which is used for the university’s upcoming graduation ceremonies. 

After the action, the protesters said the building “now reflects the Palestinian bloodshed which soaks the university’s financial records, research output and historical legacy.”
