Overview
- The High Court approved a temporary injunction prohibiting pro-Palestine protests at Cambridge University's Senate House and yard during a graduation ceremony on Saturday.
- Cambridge's request for a five-year campus-wide ban on Israel-Palestine-related protests was denied, with the court citing insufficient justification and procedural fairness concerns.
- The judge noted that Cambridge failed to present a complete account of past protest disruptions, as 10 graduation ceremonies reportedly went ahead without interference last year.
- Protest group Cambridge for Palestine criticized the university's legal actions, alleging an attempt to suppress freedom of expression and activism on campus.
- The university plans to monitor future events and may apply for additional temporary injunctions for upcoming graduation ceremonies in March and April.
