A look back at the Hetherington eviction (March 22)

Perhaps the biggest story on-campus of 2010/11.

On March 22nd 2011, Police moved in to remove demonstrators who, since February 1st, had been occupying the Hetherington Research Club. In protest, they and other students went a few yards up the road and occupied the Senate Corridor of the Main Building.

A lot of photos were taken, so (in order to show off the new glasgowguardian.co.uk full-width photo pages!) here is a selection.
