Cambridge students relaunch pro-Palestine encampment

Students at the UK’s University of Cambridge have relaunched a protest encampment outside Trinity College, one of its largest and wealthiest colleges, calling on the institution to disclose and divest from companies complicit in Israel’s war on Gaza.

The group behind the protest, Cambridge for Palestine (C4P), is demanding the University “take urgent steps” to end what it calls its “moral and material complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.”

C4P says Trinity College holds investments in companies such as Elbit Systems, Caterpillar, L3Harris Technologies, and Barclays – despite the university’s previous commitment to review its “responsible investment” policy following a similar months-long encampment last year.

In a statement, C4P said the renewed protest came after “months of student, faculty, and community frustration” over the University’s failure to honour those pledges.
