Students demand universities end complicity in border violence through investments in arms firms

STUDENTS across Britain have called on their universities to end their complicity in border violence by cutting their ties with arms, surveillance and logistics firms.

The campaigners are demanding that universities fully divest from the millions of pounds worth of investments in firms such as BAE Systems, Serco, G4S and Accenture within three years.

They also want universities to exclude border industry companies from their investments in the future and adopt a publicly available ethical investment policy that ensures human rights protection.
