AROUND
300 people took part in a march through the campus of London School of
Economics (LSE) on Thursday 19th March, in support of a student occupation there of a
room in the LSE’s Old Building.
The
students are campaigning for free higher education and lobbying the Government
to scrap tuition fees.
They
are also opposing counter-terror legislation, calling for an end to zero-hours
contracts for university staff and for a boycott of companies that profit from trade
with Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
The
students marched through the campus and then held a sit-down protest outside
the Royal College of Surgeons, where cleaners in the Unison union have been
campaigning over pay.
The
cleaners, who are mainly migrants, had joined the march with their Unison
banner. And one of them spoke at the protest.
