LSE becomes first British university to evict pro-Palestine student encampment

A university in London has become the first British institution to evict its students from an encampment for Gaza after receiving a court order to disperse them. 

Wearing masks and scarves to cover their faces, students and staff chanted "Free, free Palestine" as dozens of students at the London School of Economics left a university building on Monday which they had occupied for more than 30 days. 

Forming a human chain, students frantically threw bin bags full of belongings out of the Marshall Building after the LSE obtained a court order to evict the students by 4pm on Monday. 

Using megaphones and flags, other students continued to make their presence heard as security staff told them to leave the building because of a court order.
