12 UK Universities Exposed for Paying £440K to Spy on Pro-Palestinian Students
April 23, 2026
Yesterday, a bombshell investigation by Al Jazeera and Liberty Investigates exposed the absolute rot inside our elite academic institutions. It turns out 12 UK universities, including Oxford, UCL, and King’s College, have been secretly paying a private intelligence firm run by former military officials to spy on their own students. They’ve funneled over £440,000 into “surveilling” anyone standing in solidarity with Palestine.
These universities preach academic freedom and decolonization in their brochures, but behind closed doors, they are treating peaceful student protesters like national security threats.
We see the betrayal. We see our tuition fees being weaponized to hire ex-spies to track social media feeds. We see the state of terror being created on campuses to silence the next generation of activists.
SHAME. EXPOSE THEM ALL.
