ACTIVISTS at a pro-Palestine encampment at the London School of Economics (LSE) have accused security staff of groping and throttling them while they were evicted on Monday.

The university is the first in Britain to evict students from a pro-Palestine encampment. 

The camp was set up inside the Marshall Building on May 14, after the university’s Palestine Society reported that LSE had invested £89 million in 137 companies linked to the Gaza conflict, fossil fuels, arms, or nuclear weapons production.
