"An Oxford student was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday, 15 October. The precise basis for the arrest has not yet been disclosed to the university. While the university cannot comment on individual student cases, it has the power to take immediate and proportionate action including, as appropriate, suspending a student from membership of the University, whenever serious concerns are raised."
"In videos he appears to tell the crowd: "A steadfast and noble resistance in Palestine and in Gaza to look to, to be inspired by and - I don't want to yap for too long - but a chant that we've been workshopping in Oxford that maybe you guys want to join in. "It goes 'Gaza, Gaza make us proud, put the Zios in the ground'.""
Police arrested a 20-year-old University of Oxford student on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after video footage captured chanting at a Palestine Coalition demonstration in central London. The footage showed the man saying the chant had been workshopped in Oxford and inviting the crowd to join a chant that included "Gaza, Gaza make us proud, put the Zios in the ground." The student was arrested at an address in Oxford and remains in custody. Oxford University confirmed the arrest, said the precise basis had not been disclosed, and noted the student has been suspended while the university reiterated opposition to hatred, antisemitism and discrimination.
