Oxford University has condemned protestors who destroyed a pro-life society’s stall at a Freshers’ Fair.

Students at the university tore down posters advertising the Oxford Students for Life society and binned pamphlets and booklets last week.

Christian groups have called for more support and protection on campus for pro-life societies, alleging the actions of ‘cancel culture activists’ was ‘disturbing’.
