At least 40 universities discussed Gaza protest activity with police forces or private intelligence organisations.

Thirty-six universities had direct communication with the police.

Thirteen universities discussed protests at meetings with police, including the University of London , Cambridge , and Manchester .

Twenty-eight universities launched investigations against as many as 113 students, and staff investigated for possible disciplinary breaches linked to their pro-Palestinian activism.

Leeds University student was under investigation for "engaging in unauthorised protests and being a member of the encampment" Suffian , 21 , says he felt the university was using its disciplinary process to prevent students from taking part in protests.

Northumbria Police say the right to a lawful protest is a key part of democracy.
