The London School of Economics has received a court order indefinitely banning encampments in one of its buildings after students slept in the atrium for more than a month in support of Palestine.

Several students set up camp in the ground floor atrium of the Marshall Building in central London on 14 May, vowing to remain there until the LSE met their demands.

The LSE launched legal action in June. A judge issued a temporary possession order on June 14, which meant the camp had to be dissolved within 24 hours.

The students canceled the camp on June 17, minutes before the deadline.

At a brief hearing at Central London District Court on Friday, District Judge Morayo Fagborun-Bennett issued a possession order, meaning camps cannot be set up in the same location indefinitely.

Olivia Davies, for the LSE, said there had been no “breach of the interim order” by the defendants since the interim possession order was issued.

Daniel Grütters, representing three students, said: “Those who taught me only opposed the temporary possession order being issued. As this was done, we indicated that we would not defend the possession order.

“We agree that the possession order can be issued.”

At the end of the hearing, the judge asked if any students had been disciplined because of the camp.

Mrs. Davis replied, “Not in connection with the camp, no.”

The judge replied, “Good to know.”

The group set up the camp following the publication of the report on apartheid assets by the Palestinian Society of the LSE Students’ Union.

The report claims the LSE has invested £89m in 137 companies involved in the Gaza conflict, fossil fuels, the arms industry or nuclear weapons production.

Dozens of students have been sleeping in the Marshall Building for more than a month and have said they will remain there until the LSE takes several steps, including freeing up and democratizing its financial decision-making process.
