Recent days have seen the establishment of pro-Palestinian encampments by students at various universities in the United Kingdom. At Newcastle University, a small encampment advocating for Palestinian rights has been set up on the lawn in front of the college's buildings, as evidenced by videos and images circulating on social media.
The group, known as 'Newcastle Apartheid Off Campus,' has erected around a dozen tents on the lawn, some adorned with Palestinian flags. Their mission is to challenge Newcastle University's partnership with defense companies supplying Israel. In a social media post on Wednesday evening, the group announced their intention to stay overnight, with their numbers steadily increasing.
