  "account": "King's College London has reversed the suspension of Egyptian student Usama Ghanem, who was disciplined by the university for his pro-Palestine activism. Ghanem's suspension had been the subject of a year-long legal and public campaign. Speaking to Middle East Eye, Ghanem expressed relief at the outcome, stating that the decision sets a precedent against university crackdowns on pro-Palestine speech and protest.
