Yesterday, we joined hundreds of students and staff in showing our support for the Cambridge Vet School. Our message was clear: the University must allow continued Undergraduate admission, and invest in the Department’s long-term future 🐾

The University of Cambridge has failed to obtain a long anti protest injunction despite arguing hard for it in court - this is a vindication of everyone who campaigned against it. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

I urge @cambridgeup.bsky.social to refrain from adopt regulations that contravene international standards from human rights protection, and to stop harasing and stigmatizing the university based pro-palestine solidarity movement.

We condemn the University of Cambridge's attempt to place legal restrictions on all pro-Palestine protests. Alongside @pscupdates.bsky.social and @libertyhq.bsky.social we call out this application to the High Court for an injunction what it is: a shameful attack on basic democratic rights.
