Australian students forcibly removed from gay rights protest
Students at University of Wollongong in Australia have formed a group called the Queer Collective and are advocating a safe space on the university campus. Recent attacks and threats at this and other universities have highlighted the concern for the students' safety. The group continuously occupied a room on campus, insisting that the Chancellor name it as a safe space for them. After two days of the protest, local police were called in to remove the students during their sit-in. The students have complained about the zealous response to their peaceful demonstration as well as a lack of recognition for their requests.
