Oxford University officials ban society that no-platformed Amber Rudd
An Oxford society which cancelled a speech by former Home Secretary Amber Rudd has been barred by university authorities for breaching free speech guidelines.
It was cancelled because of students complaining about the ex-Minister's role in the Windrush scandal.
Ms Rudd tweeted that students should 'stop hiding'.
The Free Speech Union - a mass-membership organisation that stands up for speech rights - sent an official complaint about the society to Oxford University, and its governing proctors have now de-registered the feminist group.
It has also ordered it to issue an apology.
