About this campaign

Usama Ghanem is a 2nd year international student, and an active member of the Kings College London (KCL) protest and activism community, has been repeatedly targeted and penalised by KCL for his protest for the Palestinian cause.

Usama took part in the encampment at KCL in May 2024, alongside many others from the student body. He took part in a protest at a KCL Alumni event and given explicit permission to speak to the crowd, despite being given permission, Usama was physically assaulted by KCL security staff and then placed under stringent disciplinary measures for his role in the protest.

He was immediately suspended from campus pending his investigation. After following the disciplinary process, Usama was issued with an unprecedented cease-and-desist order, effectively barring him from all further involvement in protest on campus
