**University Condemns Paint Protest**
The University of Cambridge has condemned an act of vandalism after red paint was sprayed onto one of its historical buildings. The university said the action was “condemned” and damaged a building.
The protest was carried out by Palestine Action, a group that says it wants to bring attention to the university’s investments. They claim the university profits from companies that are involved in war crimes and the Israeli Apartheid Regime.
**What Happened**
Palestine Action activists sprayed paint on The Old Schools, which is the office of Cambridge University Endowment Fund manager. This was after a High Court judge granted an injunction to stop pro-Palestinian demonstrations from disrupting a graduation ceremony. The police were informed about the incident.
The group demanded that the university disclose its investments and withdraw from companies involved in war crimes. They said they will continue to protest until the university stops profiting from violence against Palestinians.
**Police Confirm Crime**
Cambridgeshire Police confirmed that a crime had been reported for criminal damage to the building. The university has condemned the act of vandalism, but Palestine Action says it was necessary to bring attention to the issue.
