Police arrest two after Swastika appears in Royal Holloway’s Library
Police have confirmed two people have been arrested after imagery featuring a Nazi Swastika was discovered on the library terrace last week. The printout, showing the flag of Israel edited to include the Swastika, was discovered on the 14th of May on the terrace of the University’s library. According to Surrey Police, ‘a number of reports of hate crime’ at the university are being investigated.
The image featuring the swastika first came to campus-wide attention when a student posted a picture in a Facebook group saying “Whichever [EXPLETIVE] thought it was okay to put the Nazi swastika on our library terrace, [EXPLETIVE] you. I’ve taken your [EXPLETIVE] little sign down that was very neatly taped. You have no place at this university and I hope you get kicked out.”
Police have arrested two people after an Israel flag featuring the Nazi swastika was put up at Royal Holloway, University of London.
There are a number of reports of hate crime at the university being investigated, said Surrey Police. In one instance, a poster with a swastika in place of the Star of David on the flag of Israel was displayed outside the premise s library.
A 21-year-old man from Egham and a 19-year-old woman from Englefield Green have been arrested, a Surrey Police spokesperson confirmed. Both have been released on bail while an investigation continues.
