Warwick students vowed to keep their occupation going yesterday after being served with an injunction by university management.

Students and security held fraught negotiations throughout the day but these reached a “dead end” after none of the occupiers’ demands were addressed.

A philosophy undergraduate at Warwick, who did not wish to be named for fear of victimisation, said students “were quite angry” and “became quite exasperated” after realising that university management was simply trying to persuade them to leave.

The injunction was served not only on general Warwick students but also to two campaigners in particular — Callum Cant and Hattie Craig.

Mr Cant told the Star he didn’t feel “intimidated.”

He said: “I feel disappointed but unsurprised that our university has completely failed to enter any form of dialogue.

“This isn’t just an occupation demanding the university support free education — this is also has a very immediate dimension.

“Now that it’s proved that they are not interested in dialogue and that they just want to get rid of us as quickly as possible — that they served us with injunctions and want to throw us out of our university — I think to be honest I’m more resolved to fight them than before.”

Mr Cant was apparently listed in the legal documents after he posted a picture of the occupation on Facebook.

And Ms Craig was included after making a speech that the university decided was an incitement to occupy.

Ms Craig said the whole procedure was “outrageous.”

“They are trying to evict the occupation using these incredibly expensive forceful means, when the occupation has been very clear from the start that it’s happy to vacate the space if the university comes to negotiate about the things that we are asking for.”

Video recordings of police officers manhandling and tear-gassing students during a peaceful demonstration on December 3 spread widely on the internet.

Students occupied three floors of a campus building the next day in protest against police brutality.

The injunction’s hearing is set to take place tomorrow at 2pm.
