Students attend the teach-in at the University of Glasgow

STUDENTS at the University of Glasgow have launched a teach-in for Palestine, as they call on the institution to sever all ties with Israel and the arms trade.

This morning, students took over the Sir Charles Wilson Building on campus, immediately launching a full programme of classes and discussions on the Palestinian struggle.

One session included the showing of the BBC docuemtary Gaza: How To Survive A War Zone, a graphic account of Palestinian suffering, later removed from iPlayer under pressure from pro-Israel groups.
