At 3am (02:00 GMT) last Wednesday, as the rain poured down, pro-Palestine students at Bristol University set up an encampment opposite a study centre on campus. Eugenia and five other student activists who had met at previous protests put four tents together. But despite the cold, more sprung up over the next few nights.
“It’s now grown to at least 20 tents, with loads of people rotating in and out, usually about 30 [people] at the camp during the day. But it’s sometimes more if we have a specific event on,” Eugenia, an organiser with the Bristol for Palestine group, told Al Jazeera.
