Protesters interrupted a talk by Natasha Asghar, a Welsh Conservative Member of the Senedd for South East Wales, at Cardiff University.

While Asghar was speaking to the university's politics society, a group began banging on the door and chanting accusations, labeling her a genocide supporter and shouting "shame on you."

The protest appears to be linked to Asghar's, along with other Tory and Labour politicians', stance on the conflict in Gaza, specifically their lack of support for calls for a ceasefire in the region.

Following the incident, Asghar expressed gratitude to her team, the police, and Cardiff University for ensuring her safety. Cardiff University stated that it is reviewing the events that occurred during her talk.
