Heckler of Nancy Pelosi among activists in Oxford
An activist who heckled Nancy Pelosi and a student welfare officer who “liked” social media posts celebrating Hamas, were among dozens of students seen protesting at Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Rosy Wilson, 19, was among those who set up camp outside Pitt Rivers Museum.
Ms Wilson was previously removed from the Oxford Union after she and another protester hijacked a speech by Ms Pelosi, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives.
The students waved Palestinian flags after they disrupted her address at the debating society on April 25.
They were removed by police and escorted out to applause.
Ms Wilson also joined activists from Just Stop Oil who disrupted a fundraising dinner held by Anneliese Dodds, chairman of the Labour Party and MP for Oxford East, in February.
In a video, filmed by Just Stop Oil, she is seen holding a Palestinian flag, and shouting: “Labour ... refuses to stand up for human lives.”
Ms Wilson, who is studying philosophy, politics and economics, was pictured at the camp protest yesterday, despite her fellow activists denying she was in attendance. Meanwhile, at the encampment in Cambridge,
Harvey Brown, the student union’s welfare officer, was spotted wearing a floral top and a face mask.
He came under fire in October when The Telegraph revealed he had liked a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, that supported the Oct 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
After an outcry, Mr Brown apologised for his “rash” actions. Will Bolton, Ewan Somerville and Cameron Henderson
