High Court Grants UK Universities Orders to Remove Pro-Palestinian Protest Camps

Nottingham and Birmingham universities secure legal victories to evict protesters, citing trespassing and disruption.

The High Court ruled that protesters had no prospect of proving their human rights were breached.
The legal actions targeted unidentified individuals and named activists at both universities.
Protesters argued the evictions interfered with their rights to free speech and assembly.
The court emphasized that other avenues for protest exist without occupying university land.
Similar legal actions have been taken by other universities, including the London School of Economics.
