Students protest outside the University of Manchester against its complicity in the genocide of Gaza

STUDENTS, staff and community members at the University of Manchester have staged a campus protest against what they call the institution’s complicity in the Gaza genocide.

Demonstrators, organised by the Youth Front For Palestine (YFFP) and Manchester Leftist Action, marched on the university’s National Graphene Institute building on Wednesday to demand transparency on the research centre’s partnerships with the Israeli arms industry.

The organisers said they had been met by a heavy police presence.
