Exclusive: Manchester University accused of ‘stifling debate’ in its response to UK Lawyers For Israel complaints about exhibition
The director of the Whitworth Art Gallery is being asked to leave his post by the University of Manchester, after a row when a statement of solidarity with Palestine’s “liberation struggle” was removed from an exhibition of works by a human rights investigations agency.
