**Cambridge University Prohibits Protests**

A judge at the High Court has stopped pro-Palestinian protesters from disrupting a graduation ceremony at Cambridge University.

The university asked for an injunction to protect its students and staff. They said protests had happened before, and they wanted to stop it from happening again. The judge agreed to a temporary ban on protests near Senate House.

Some groups say the university is trying to limit free speech. But the university says it’s just trying to keep everyone safe.

The dispute started after a conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza last year. Protest camps were set up in Cambridge, and some protesters said the university wasn’t doing enough to stop investing in companies that sell arms to Israel.

A judge was asked to issue an order that would cover four university buildings for five years. But he only agreed to a temporary ban on protests near Senate House until Saturday night.

Anyone who breaks this rule could face court action or be found in contempt of court. Several groups have condemned the university’s decision.
