Finnish students have been occupying the main administration building of the University of Helsinki since Friday.

Approximately three hundred students took over the building on Friday evening to protest a new education law that would open up Finnish colleges and universities to greater business influence. The occupation followed a day of coordinated protests across Finland.

Students staged an overnight sit-in in the same space in late February. According to one news report, the February protesters discussed the education bill with a vice-chancellor and “served coffee to the returning staff” before leaving the building.
