Security threaten violence as students occupy second building

MANCHESTER students seized a second university building yesterday after a violent clampdown by campus security.

Dozens of students initiated a “secondary occupation” at the University of Manchester in solidarity with colleagues who had been brutally grabbed and threatened with punches to the face.

The original Free Education MCR sit-in started last Wednesday in protest over national austerity measures, for free education and in defence of workers’ rights.
