Student sit-in swells as court blocks right to campus protest
Reinforcements arrive to bolster Birmingham University sit in
The Occupation of a Birmingham University building by disgruntled students intensified yesterday as reinforcements broke through security to join the sit in.
They were protesting at the university-backed court summons of occupation co-ordinators Simon Furse and Hattie Craig.
An injunction sought by the university to impose a 12-month protest ban on campus was granted by the court. Mr Furse and Ms Craig were not made to pay any fines or costs.
