On October 15, 25 Survival International members were removed from the Oxford Union for "wearing offensive T-shirts" and "asking offensive questions" during a visit by Botswana's President Festus Mogae. The protesters wore shirts reading "Botswana police shoot Bushmen", in opposition to Botswana's persecution of the Kalahari Bushmen, who have been removed from their land.
