The London School of Economics (LSE) has become the first British institution to evict its students from an encampment for Gaza after receiving a court order to disperse them.
Dozens of students at the LSE left the Marshall Building on Monday which they had occupied for more than 30 days. Using megaphones and flags, the students continued to make their presence heard as security staff told them to leave the building.
A hearing on Friday at the Central London County Court ruled in favour of the LSE and gave them an interim possession order, requiring the encampment to leave the university building within 24 hours of being served.
A spokesperson for the LSE encampment said they would remain defiant and continue to call for the school to divest despite this latest setback.
