BRITISH police are “starting to follow the guidebook” of their US counterparts, NGO Cage has warned as pro-Palestine student encampments face brutal crackdowns.
A medical student who took part in the camp at Newcastle University told the group that they treated nine casualties after a peaceful sit-in was met with “a brutal police response” on May 29.
They said they “dealt with students suffering baton blows to the head, neck and torso,” and witnessed students being “choked by officers, punched in the face repeatedly and female students having their clothes shredded and bodies groped by officers.”
