The London School of Economics faces criticism from a UN rapporteur and accusations of Islamophobia after allegedly associating a pro-Palestine student protest with fears of a repeat of the 7/7 terrorist attacks. Seven students involved in the July 7 demonstration—four of them women—were placed under “precautionary measures” limiting campus access. In letters to the students, the university cited concerns from security and staff about the protest, describing their feelings of “fear and distress” due to the students’ actions.
