British police have arrested 16 people at a protest organized by a pro-Palestinian student group at Oxford University, in the latest flare-up on a prestigious campus over the war in Gaza, Le Monde reported.

It follows protests in recent weeks at more than a dozen UK universities, including at world-renowned Oxford and Cambridge, emulating similar actions on campuses in the United States and elsewhere. Demonstrators opposed to Israel's handling of the war against Gaza have made various demands, including that universities sever academic and financial ties with the regime.
