<p>On Tuesday 12th around 100 people demonstrated outside the London Metropolitan University's Commercial Road campus, following a <a href="http://london.indymedia.org.uk/articles/1392">call</a> to support the student <a href="http://london.indymedia.org.uk/articles/1398">occupation</a> of the university. Those demonstrating included a continget from the IWW and UCU unions, students and staff from the university, as well as campaigners against the privatisation of education. People demonstrated for about one and a half hours, during which speeches were made by students and unions staff. See <a href="http://savelondonmetuni.blogspot.com/2009/05/video-student-occupation-london-met.html">video</a>.</p> <p>The management of the university has hired private security to prevent people from joining the occupation. They prevented the demonstrators from visiting en mass the occupied area, although, for some very strange reason, people were allowed into the occupied rooms in small groups, so many of those demonstrating eventually did so in order to show support to the students in occupation.</p> <p>See below some pics of the demo:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
