In the meantime, we remind everyone that trans people are still legally protected from discrimination, harassment, and victimisation in employment, education, and the provision of services, and we will support everyone in using their bathroom of choice.

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 🐾

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.

Restrictions, unless justified as necessary on a case-by-cases basis, should not be imposed on: the time of assemblies, their frequency, the number of participants, the location to be held, and the equipment used. "Blanket restrictions on peaceful assemblies are presumptively disproportionate."👇

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.
