University of Manchester to review fossil fuel shares after student protest

Students stage week-long occupation in protest against university's 12m investment

The University of Manchester has said it will review its 12m investment in fossil fuel firms after a seven-day protest by students who threatened to go on hunger strike.

Students from the protest group People and Planet had occupied one of the university's buildings for the past week in a demonstration against its multimillion-pound investment in fossil fuel companies.
