Pro-Palestinian protesters who set up a camp outside an historic graduation hall have left the area, saying the University of Cambridge has “agreed to negotiate”.
The Cambridge for Palestine group set up tents last week outside King’s College and later moved to the lawn outside Senate House.
The group, protesting against the war in Gaza, left Senate House Thursday.
The university maintained it supported “protest within the law”.
The encampment had forced the university to move graduation ceremonies planned for Friday and Saturday from Senate House – where students have done so since the 18th Century – to another location.
As they left, the group wrote on Instagram that its “goal from the Senate House yard occupation has been accomplished”.
