A student encampment at the Australian National University disbands after 110 days, after the university's announcement it would no longer invest in 'controversial weapons manufacturers' in the long term.
Australian National University students have disbanded a pro- Palestine encampment after almost four months protesting the university's investment in weapons companies they say were aiding Israel 's war effort.
It was one of the last ongoing encampments in Australia, after similar campus protests, including at Sydney and Monash universities, disbanded months ago. "They are now putting our basic safety at risk by telling us we are now not allowed to turn on a single light at night time. But the university added it was not aware that a direction had been made to students at the encampment in recent days that they could not use any light at night.
"We were the longest standing camp in Australia, and were up there globally with the time that we lasted.
