University of Manchester students forcibly 'dragged' out of campus building after weeks-long strike
Student protesters occupying a building at the University of Manchester were forcibly removed by court bailiffs this morning .
On Monday, the High Court granted a possession order for the whole of the university's South Campus with notice being served on the occupiers. In a statement issued afterward, the group said: "The University has made it clear that they would rather drag their students out of a building than listen to our concerns.
“This action follows multiple requests to those occupying the building to leave, and court hearing papers being served on the occupiers on 15 March 2023. The Court granted the University a possession order on Monday, and copies of the order were served to the occupiers.
